Sorry, but to revert this would just be wrong -- so the answer is no. i find this unreasonable. i liked the old behavior because if i had put the window minimized when fvwm restarted it wouldnt be minimized anymore. so please revert this - or get someone else to do it if you cant Maybe you should describe what you want again. The way I understand your request, you are asking for Fvwm to un-minimize windows on a restart. Fvwm is supposed to restore windows to their previous state and position on a restart. Doing anything else is a bug.

The way I understand your request, you are asking for Fvwm to un-minimize windows on a restart. That's the impression I got, also. Fvwm is supposed to restore windows to their previous state and position on a restart. Doing anything else is a bug. Perhaps the OP needs to put a command in RestartFunction to DeIconify all windows?

Use: AddToFunc StartFunction I Test (Restart) Foo You *only* need RestartFunction if you're using FVWM 2.4.X -- which for most people is unlikely. -- Thomas Adam -- It was the cruelest game I've ever played and it's played inside my head. -- Hush The Warmth, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.

Because this idiot knew it was the right thing to do? Getting defensive and potentially hostile over something isn't going to really motivate people to help you -- although see my previous reply to you anyway -- call it a good-will gesture on my part to help you resolve your previous reliance on broken behaviour. -- Thomas Adam -- It was the cruelest game I've ever played and it's played inside my head. -- Hush The Warmth, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.
