FVWM: Cannot maximize while iconified?

I had a bit of configuration that maximised an iconified window and then
de-iconified it. This stopped working in 2.4: the maximise was seeming to have
no effect. When I swapped the order round it works okay. I wanted to do the
maximise while the window was iconified so that there was less `flickering' on
the screen, but it is not a major issue.

While on this matter, can anyone suggest a better way of achieving the effect
I want? It is for the middle mouse button when clicked on the task bar window
buttons. If I move along the task bar pressing the middle mouse button on each
window button then I want to see each window in turn maximised, with all the
others returned to normal, and a second click on the last button returns that
window to normal too.

Viz: Unmaximise the previous maximised window.
        Move to the desktop / page where this window is.
        Maximise / demaxmimise it, and focus it.

After much fiddling I previously arrived at:

*FvwmTaskBarAction Click2 Focus,Iconify 1,Prev [!FvwmTaskBar Maximized
!Iconic] Maximize 100 97,Maximize 100 97,Iconify -1,Focus

Since 2.4 I have had to swap the last Maximize and Iconify to make it work
again:

*FvwmTaskBarAction Click2 Focus,Iconify 1,Prev [!FvwmTaskBar Maximized
!Iconic] Maximize 100 97,Iconify -1,Maximize 100 97,Focus

Best wishes, John Latham
