Nope. Reading the right docs...and it isn't there. Just in my fvwm95rc
file.

Oh? I'm not sure. I use the task bar all the time (and have icons turned
off). I like the clean background screen with xearth running. What I
like is to have three or four pages all running separate xterms. Then,
for development I just click the task bar to switch between editors,
etc. Ummm, if you don't use a task bar, how do you do this? Surely
bringing up the window list is much slower. And keeping all the windows
on one page is just messy. I'm certainly not a windows guy, so that's
not the reason I'm doing it this way....

I will have a look at the differences between the two sources and see if
I can make sense of anything....no promises. If someone else wants to do
this, no problems.
I've been running the 95 taskbar for a few days and it appears to be
find.
