No I don't have an "ModulePath" statement in my fvwm config files,
neither in the system wide nor my own config.
I'm sure because I grep'ed for it.

No you missunderstood. I configured FvwmButtons to stay on Layer 7, so that no
window can overlap it, except for apps which use fullscreen, like mplayer or gqview.
Now FvwmButtons stays really ever over everything even over the fullscreen
windows (e.g. from mplayer).
Laying fullscreen apps to Layer 8 is no solution because:
1.) then they are ever in front even in windowed mode and don't go behind
2.) I have to configure it for every single fullscreenapp
Laying FvwmButtons in Layer 4 is no solution because then every other
window can cover it. :-(
So I need a flexible solution like a script I fear, or something is broken
in new fvwm versions.
thx for advance
