Yes, no problem. Start the FvwmCommandS module in your config file:

  AddToFunc StartFunction
  + I Module FvwmCommandS

This enables a shell interface to fvwm. On the command line, type

  $ FvwmCommand "Style * NoPPosition, NoTransientPPosition"

(the command has to be put in double quotes). Of course you can
type them into the FvwmConsole module window or put them into a
menu too. For example:

  AddToMenu some_menu
  + dock Function dock_machine
  + undock Function un_dock_machine

  AddToFunc dock_machine
  + I Style * NoPPosition, NoTransientPPosition
  + I EwmhBaseStruts 0 rrr 0 bbb
  ...

  AddToFunc undock_machine
  + I Style * UsePPosition, UseTransientPPosition
  + I EwmhBaseStruts 0 0 0 0
  ...

(note that I renamed EWMHBaseStrut to EwmhBaseStruts in the latest
development code. The old name is no longer supported.)

Bye
