I like this idea. I downloaded fvwm95 and tested it out; I like the
taskbar. OTOH, I also like the direction that fvwm is moving in and
don't think it's worth it to switch to another wm just for the taskbar.
Optional modules could be much better than having the wasted effort
of two wm's being written just because one has an extra bell or whistle
that the original doesn't.

Agreed.
