I had
Style "*" MWMFunctions
Style "*" HintOverride
Style "*" MWMDecor
in my .fvwm2rc, but no MWMDecorMin, MWMDecorMax etc. assigned to buttons.
So Fvwm fell back to its defaults.

When I added the two lines above (and also ButtonStyle 1 - MwmDecorMenu),
I got no buttons whatsoever on the right side of those windows, only
button 1 was still there. I added the line

ButtonStyle 2 - Clear

and the close button appeared. Seems as if Fvwm kept the default flag for
button 2.

I guess the assumption that these windows are transients was an error on
my side. I was misled by the fact that they actually don't show a title
bar, if my .fvwm2rc lacks a 'DecorateTransients'.
I don't have a 'WindowListSkip' for these windows, this behavior seems to
be based on a different mechanism. No problem, it is ok that way.

By the way, this program has an excellent support.
Thanks again for the help!
