This is what I was doing until now... I now added "fvwm2" to the last line of
my .xinitrc and exited fvwm... and a new instance started up.
Now Mozilla/Firebird disappear more frequently than before... and even when
they do go full screen they still have the border and titlebar.

This helped fix the problems of gkrellm staying on top of other full screened
applications.
[ie., tvtime now runs on Layer 4 in windowed mode, and Layer 6 in full screen.]
But is it really necessary to add that line because everything was working
fine on 2.5.7 even without that extra line. Since this is "expected behavior"
wouldn't it be better if it was turned on by default ?(ie., not having to
turn it on in the config.
