I guess one of the more recent releases. For example:

    With GNOMEIgnoreHints fvwm ignores all GNOME hints for
    the window, even if GNOME compliance is compiled in.
    This is useful for those pesky applications that try to
    be more clever than the user and use GNOME hints to force
    the window manager to ignore the user's preferences. The
    GNOMEUseHints style switches back to the default behav-
    ior.

Maybe you need one of the newer stable releases.
