Howdy.

Can't yet, although it's on the TO-DO list.

If you want you can put a snippet of code in your local FvwmButtons to
achieve this. Something like the following:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
    {
      XWMHints hints;
      Atom at;

      hints.flags = InputHint;
      hints.input = False;

      XSetWMHints(XtDisplay(topLevel), XtWindow(topLevel), &hints);
      at = XInternAtom(XtDisplay(topLevel),"WM_TAKE_FOCUS",False);
      XDeleteProperty(XtDisplay(topLevel),XtWindow(topLevel),at);
    }
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Although this would have to be modified slightly to actually work in
FvwmButtons. I use this in 'xlbiff' so it never steals my focus when
it pops up. Just make sure you aren't using 'Lenience'.

Can't yet, although it's on the TO-DO list too.

Marco> - May I ask to Fvwm to fill an IconBox in right-to-left order?

This SHOULD have been on the TO-DO list, but I forgot to put it
there. It's there now though.

I believe once an app is swallowed, all button events get directed to
it, so you can't do this right now. Probably should make this
possible in the future.

Nope, not currently. Use the Class or Resource name instead.
