I did some more digging on my problem of Lower not lowering windows below iconified windows. It first appears in fvwm 2.4.10; it is not present in 2.4.9.
Reproduction steps with the fvwm2rc at the end of this message: - start your favorite Xnest environment (or a real X server) and fvwm as 'fvwm2 -f fvwm2rc-test'. The fvwm2rc uses button 3 on the root window to pop up a menu of operations and uses manual placement of windows. - pop up the root menu; pick XTerm; place the resulting window somewhere. - pop the root menu up, pick Iconify, button-1 the xterm window to iconify it. - pop the root menu up, pick XTerm, place the resulting xterm window so that it completely obscures the iconified XTerm. - pop the root menu up, pick Bottom, chose the (new) XTerm window. On fvwm 2.4.9 and below the iconified XTerm icon appears on top of the uniconified xterm. On 2.4.10 and later, nothing happens. - on 2.4.10+, then pop the menu up, pick Move, pick the XTerm window. Move the window slowly so as to reveal the iconified XTerm. When a tiny bit of the icon appears, it will suddenly jump into full appearance over the window you are moving (as it should be). [I believe xlogo32 should be universally available; if not, substitute the default icon of your choice.] - cks Minimal .fvwm2rc: # Minimal .fvwm2rc to reproduce my icon bug.
