Having played abit more, I'll clarify a little. The popups created by
this app. come up at the front, as you'd expect. But one can't move them
(under fvwm), they're not listed in the WindowList, and, most annoyingly,
*no* window will come to the front over them - if one raises a window, it
still ends up underneath the popup :-(
The /only/ thing I can think of is that I've got some bizarre fvwm
'honour unsociable windows' flag set, but I still can't figure out what
(see previous mail for settings/X flags).
