My intention was to put fbpanel on the top layer (6), And then
common applications (on layers less than or equal to 6) would
not maximize over fbpanel. But putting fbpanel on top layer
failed.
"Maximize grow grow" instead of "Maximize layer grow grow" is
not what I want, since it would avoid maximizing windows over
windows in the same layer.

But most windows I work with are not larger than the screen size. They
may be put over other windows except the fbpanel. In other words, if
the window fits the working area, it should be put completly in the
working area.

I do not undestand this. In my FVWM configuration I have:
#-----------------------------------------------------
AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I None (fbpanel, CirculateHit) Exec fbpanel
+ I None (fbpanel, CirculateHit) Wait fbpanel
+ I EwmhBaseStruts 0 0 0 32
Style "fbpanel" StaysOnTop
#-----------------------------------------------------
Isn't the Style command executed before the Exec
command? That is, when the fbpanel command is
executed, the Style command has alread been
executed (fbpanel is called after FVWM initializion,
since it is called in StartFunction). Then it should
be a new window and it should be put in the
top layer. What is wrong in this reasoning?
