I do! Thanks -- I've been using fvwm for about 20 years (if that's possible), and have never used that feature. And I certainly never thought to use it for moving a window. I always drag the window I want to move on the FvwmButtons panel with Button 2, but sometimes, on machines with middle button emulation, or other config issues, that's hard or impossible to do. Stick/unstick is way easier.
