Very cool, thanks! Is there an upgrade guide/list of changes since
Fvwm2? I couldn't find it on the website.

(I see that my current configuration will still work with fvwm3,
but I'm still slow to test it as it's critical for my daily work.)

I tried it. It works, thanks a lot. All I needed was a vanilla

xcompmgr

(I didn't need any fancy shadows with -c).

Now that it works I realize how bad the quality of the Zoom whiteboard
drawing is. I use xournal++ normally, which yields much better results
(but isn't collaborative).

Thanks! I'll give it a shot this weekend.

Been some 15 years of using fvwm now, so thanks for all your work!

Hmm, yes.  That's very confusing.  Not sure what I was thinking there.
Thanks!  Fixed now.

I've added some preliminary notes here:

Understood.  There shouldn't be any breaking changes.
