I don't think thats necessary, FvwmForm checks is arg count. If there
are too many args, its not going to run correctly. In the 2.2 time
frame, if the arg count isn't 7 (including the 6 from fvwm2), its
going to ignore the form name (MyQuitVerify), leading to creating a
bad window.
My guess is, we are going to fix this by making the extra args go away
like they apparently did in the past.
