I second this idea. I too recently have wished that a couple of windows
could remember some state information and have title buttons

If someone implements this, they should be sure to support inter-module
communication. I.e., allow module1 to send a string to fvwm like
   "send module2Name command"

An interesting use of such a feature is to use it to support modules that
can reconfigure themselves on the fly. Say, have FvwmTalk support
   "send moduleName configCommand"
Sure would beat edit .fvwmrc/restart cycles.
