I've just tried tvtime version 0.9.12. I can confirm that it uses the EWMH fullscreen hint and no GNOME hints. However, If I've a stay on top window (EWMHUseStackingOrderHints not enabled) this window is *not* covered by tvtime. What version of tvtime do you use? I take fast look at the 0.9.13 source code. What *may* happen is that after tvtime is mapped it ask to be above with the _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE hints (if a window want to be above it should set this state before mapping). So, FVWM interprets this has a user query (e.g., the user has used the kicker taskbar menu on the tvtime "icon") and not as a program query and respect the user query (ignoring !EWMHUseStackingOrderHints). If tvtime do effectively this, in my opinion, it tries to override the wm stacking policy and this is not regular (and I will be not happy with such application). There is a plan to extend the EWMH spec so that the wm can know who send a _NET_WM_STATE_FOO query (so if the app developers do not cheat we will be able to handle the situation below).
