I do not see which kind of problem we can have, but Animate like problem. Moreover, you can build a fvwm function which almost do the show desktop feature, so it seems to me that if we get problems by using icons for "show desktop" we will have to fix it any way. > Yes, if FvwmAnimate is on, mass-iconify may be problematic.
