Never fear everyone - I plan on putting Jarl's new FvwmButtons into
the next release (ready early next week, hopefully) and the necessary
patches for it after I finish reviewing them, as long as I have no
problems with the patches. I like the new capabilities (although I
don't use a buttonbar myself), so I really would like to get it in
there.

Speaking of patches, Jarl's vertical titlebar patch will mostly likely
NOT be included... While it looks interesting, I don't really feel
that fvwm needs this right now. Sorry everyone who may have been
looking forward to that. I am keeping the patch file though, in case
I do percieve some need for something like this in the future...

BTW - Jarl, there is a program called xvertext in the R5 contrib on
ftp.x.org which can be used to rotate text strings in earlier X
versions.
