I'm running 0.8 too, and I invoke it with

FvwmCascade 100p 100p

I tried it with -sizeup and there was no change. (Incidentally, this is on
Solaris 2.5 on a Sun SPARC 5, fvwm 2.0.43 with applied titlebar and border-
style patches.)

Do your sticky windows have titles? I have about four stickys on my screen
but only one of them has a title, and it's this one that is Cascading.
My guess is (and If Andrew Veliath wants to jump in here go ahead)
your stickys don't have titles and so since you don't have the -u switch
set, they are unaffected by Cascade.
