It does succeed in getting rid of the window list, but it's replaced with
a menu "Builtin Menu".

There don't appear to be any other mouse bindings.
My fvwm version:
FVWM version 2.4.6 compiled on Apr 8 2002 at 20:52:23
with support for: ReadLine, Stroke, XPM, GNOME WM hints, Shape, SM,
Multibyte, Xinerama
This seems to be the latest stable Debian linux release.
My system.fvwm2rc file is below.
It has been setup to produce a kiosk/task-station which can run a limited
set of programs.
Thanks!
David

# Features of this system.fvwm2rc file for the kiosk
# Application window does not lose focus when mouse is moved
# Multiple instances of FvwmWharf module to have buttons
# in multiple locations
# One button for xterm or application (uses text picture label)
# see checkstation_start.sh script
# Another button runs xlock (part of xlockmore package)
# Third button runs a script which runs halt (halt is run SUID root -- kludgy)
# Runs xlock
# Centering Buttons: the Launch and Shutdown buttons are by default
# positioned to be centered in an 800x600 resolution. To recenter
# for 1024x768, see the "### Launch Button" and "### Shutdown Button"
