No.

I'm kinda scratching my head over it. Has anyone spent any time
configuring fvwm to allow single-click deiconification? I set ClickTime
to 75 for this.

I find that I often end up moving an icon rather than opening it.
Stretching the move threshold distance like this seems to help.

The other problem, of course, is that with shaped icons it's easy to
click on a "hole" in the image. I believe it'd be expensive to put a
transparent window around the icon boundary to avoid this.

Cheers,
Andrew.
