Hi, FVWM-fans!

Thanks a lot for all your answers. The very first one that I got
already did the trick:

That was it! I wonder why "NoPPostion" isn't mentioned in the
man page (fvwm2.0.39). Could you please put it in there?


But this other subject still riddles me:

So, why don't they, Chuck?

Thanks, y'all for your help!
