Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

This works just fine! Setting MWWM=allwm, Rose comes up like a normal
X app where the WM draws the borders. With MWWM=MWM, it works ok too
except that for the main window, no borders are drawn by the WM and
Rose draws it's own borders (I have fvwm respecting MWM decor hints).
(This is correct as mentioned by the Knowledgebase pages above.) I
don't recall what Rose looks like with dtwm, but I suspect it's quite
close to all MWWM=MWM.

If the fvwm-workers list is different from fvwm_at_fvwm.org, then I'm not
on it, and for some reason I can't reach www.fvwm.org right now to
find out what it is.

Your help very, Very, VERY much appreciated!!!!!!
