Thanks Dan, that did the trick: I added
Style * EWMHPlacementIgnoreWorkingArea
Style * EWMHMaximizeIgnoreWorkingArea
which solved the problem.
Part of my confusion in understanding your first message is that I was
referring to the stable fvwm man page,
http://www.fvwm.org/documentation/manpages/stable/fvwm2.php
I didn't realize that this was a feature only of the unstable version.
thanks again, I'm really happy to solve this! --Jim
