It is a function of a client window to draw the main area raised, lowered
or flat. Only client knows which shadow and higlight colors to use (based
on the background), FVWM has no any idea which colors to use for the
"raised client" effect.
Also a menu may be drawn even more "raised" by a toolkit.

BTW, why don't you use border handles, real CDE has them. :)
