I dunno what to tell you, except that when the panel was at layer 2, my
Netscape windows would constantly be created obscuring it (I'm a huge
fan of mouse-2 in Netscape :). Since FvwmAuto didn't do much (as you've
explained--thanks, that makes sense) I was constantly moving them around
while muttering under my breath.

Once I got off my butt and used FvwmCommand to change the Layer to 6
(with no other changes at all) the windows never overlap the panel
anymore.

Heh :)
