The beta 2.0 is just about ready to be officially released, and a lot
of these things behave better or are easier to implement under it, so
you might want to upgrade. BTW - The official (non beta) 2.0 should
be ready within the next few weeks.

Check out the man page where it describes the 'Style' command,
specifically the 'NoIconTitle' and the 'Icon/NoIcon' parts.

Hhhmmm.... I don't think that there is any way to do this currently in
either 1.xx or 2.xx. Since the cursor can be moved from keystrokes
through fvwm, it seems to hold that you should be able to simulate a
button press as well... I'll look into how hard it would be to add
this feature to 2.xx.

I think that something like this will work in 2.xx, but I've never
tried it... Nope - a quick test shows that it doesn't work there
either. I'll take a look and see if this is a bug or working as
designed and how easily fixed/implemented.

This can be done in 2.xx easier, I believe.

You mean title bar buttons? They can be redesigned via the
ButtonStyle command, but you can't specify arbitrary bitmaps or
pixmaps (yet). This might be added later.

I don't think that this can be specified, currently.

Just use the geometry specs to do this -> just add multiples of the
screen width & height. It's the only way to do it right now.

In 2.xx, Just 'Mouse 1 R N Iconify' more or less works by iconifying
the window that you RELEASE over. I think it behaved the same in
1.xx, but I'm not sure.

Hope I've been of assistance.
