I am running FVWM 2.5.7 and I am still having problems with windows
covering the fbpanel window, even with the EwmhBaseStruts command.
The command I use for maximizing windows is 'Maximize layer grow grow'.
As I said, maximized windows are getting beyound the working area.
New windows may get placed beyound the working area too, when the
screen has few empty areas. The placement style I am using is
"MinOverlapPlacement". I want no window over the fbpanel window.
I have tried setting the layer for fbpanel, but it did not worked.
I have the command "Style "fbpanel" StaysOnTop" in my configuration
file, but fbpanel is still put in layer 4:
$ xprop | grep -i layer
_WIN_LAYER(CARDINAL) = 4

I tried that, but I did not find a way of starting fbpanel with a
given geometry. The program does not accept a "-g" or "-geometry"
option. It supports placement at one of screen edges (left, right,
top, bottom), chosen at its configuration file. This is not a
solution because fbpanel without a user specified geometry obeys
the working area.

I had to add the CirculateHit condition to the None
commands, otherwise it does not match the fbpanel window.
Any clues?
