This is the same as remove window decorations, maximize the application to
use the entire screen size and place the application to the lower layer.
Right? If so, here is the solution that works with most of applications.

To remove the decorations:

  Style myappwindow NoHandles, BorderWidth 0, NoTitle

To place the application on the bottom ("Style m Layer 1" is also ok):

  Style myappwindow StaysOnBottom

To maximize the application automatically when it is launched, you may use
one or another method described in FAQ #3.18 (with or without FvwmEvent).

Mikhael.
