No problem.

Nope, I caused this... I moved them into a specific man directory
under the top level, but forgot to put that in the ChangeLog. I was
considering moving the module man pages as well, but hadn't decided if
that was a good idea or not. Anyone have an opinion on that? I could
just as easily put the man pages that I moved back where they were
too.

I think that these FvwmIconBox problems are all related to the NoClass
changes. I think I may switch it back to actually inserting the Class
'NoClass' again like it was before (haven't decided yet) as I'm not
certain what the benefit of the change really was (have to look at it
a little closer).

I have a partial fix from Suzuki-san for FvwmIconBox that essentially
throws those names back in there. Don't know if it fixes all of those
problems though.

Good idea. I'll put it on the TO-DO list.

No problem (for my part). :)
