I may suggest to do it a bit differently, new options for Panel: Respawn and SpawnOnOpen. This should achieve the functionality you want, but in a bit different (and I hope a more intuitive) way, > Because we are in feature freeze, no new features are accepted at > the whim of one developer.

I want to have the functionality in the patch, but the way it is done now it is not very extendible and as it is now it should be named "DrawReliefOn <state>", not "Relief <reliefmode>". Ideally I would like to have more relief styles in the future, like: Relief <state> <style> # state = up/down/both, style=clean/shadow/edge Or to use "UpRelief/DownRelief <state>" syntax for this. Additionaly I would like not to encourage a special meaning of negative Frame value and do it like FvwmIconMan does it. I.e. Frame is taken only to be positive and we have style=raised/sunk/raisededge/sunkedge values. By default style for "up" is "raised" and for down is "sunk", like now. So although I want to have this functionality, I can't vote "yes" yet for the patch. This needs more discussion so we don't need to change the syntax in the future.
