Searches don't seem to be working on our mail archives.

This came up in September, you can browse the September archive
(search for "rose") for all the details. Heres the part that may
help:

  Rational Rose uses some software from Mainsoft that lets MS Windows
  applications be recompiled to run on UNIX.
  
  There seem to be 2 Mainsoft Knowledgebase pages that relate to UNIX
  window managers:
  
  http://www.mainsoft.com/nbase/mainwin/kb/kbmw0027.htm
  http://www.mainsoft.com/nbase/mainwin/kb/kbmw0034.htm
  
  The second page looks like it might help, try
  exporting MWWM=allwm before you run your application.
  
  You might also try MWWM=MWM. With this it would make sense to tell
  fvwm to respect MWM decor hints.
  
  I think the fvwm-workers list would be interested in any results you
  can tell us about.

Ray then reported that MWWM=allwm seemed to work best.

I think you are correct in your guess that you may see more of these
applications. Make sure you let Rational know how you feel about
their application defaults.
