This is all under FAQ 3.18, just be careful with automatical actions.
*FvwmEvent-ReverseGravity: PassId
*FvwmEvent-ReverseGravity: add_window FlipWindow
DestroyFunc FlipWindow
AddToFunc FlipWindow
+ I WindowId $0 AnimatedMove -$[w.x]p -$[w.y]p
AddToFunc StartFunction I FvwmEvent FvwmEvent-ReverseGravity
But such flipping is only useful with CascadePlacement.
