The reason is that the swallowed window doe not move relative to its parent. When a decorated window is moved, fvwm sends a synthetic ConfigureNotify event to the client, but FvwmButtons does not do this (for whatever reason). > not a big problem but it > meant that things like transparent terminals didnt work properly...but > messing around today, it seems pretty easy to pass the events to the > swallowed windows and it works exactly how I'd expect...am I missing > something?

Some applications may do funny things if they see the ConfigureNotiy event, but they would already do so when they are swallowed initially. So I'd say an option is not necessary.
