FVWM: FVWM - Win95 type decors and "Button 6" with apps.

G'day fvwm'ers, I have two quick questions.

I'm experimenting with Win95 style title decors using fvwm2.0.45. The
window title bar left button ordering is "Minimize | Maximize | Close"
(which is the reverse of "standard" fvwm/motif-type buttons). Problem is,
some X/Motif applications only display a "Close" button [Button 6], which
is fine with standard fvwm buttons, since Button 6 = Close, but with Win95
style buttons Button 6 = "Minimize"!

I think, fvwm95 doesn't have this problem - but I really want to stick
with fvwm2.0.45. Can I do any trickery in fvwm2 to tell it: when only one
button on the left of the title bar is being displayed, use Button 6
style/bindings instead of Button 2?

Also with FvwmTaskBar, I'm having problems getting the "Start" button to
pop back up after clicking on it to bring up a menu.

Any ideas? (besides giving up Win95 styles!)

My users are Win95/NT4-heads and I need to make them feel "comfortable"
when they use Unix boxes. Does anyone have experience with using
FvwmButtons or tkGoodStuff as a Win95-style TaskBar/IconTray?

Thanks
