Let me clarify things, before there's even more confusion.
When we refer to this (in terms of FvwmEvent):
DestroyModuleConfig a:*
*a: PassId
*a: new_window SomeCommand
That would have told FvwmEvent to tack on to the end of the options, the
windowid of the window for which the event occured in. So to test for that
window, you would have had to do the following:
DestroyFunc SomeCommand
AddToFunc SomeCommand
+ I WindowId $0 (Some_Name_Or_Rather) HugXteddy
But note that this is no longer needed. There is absolutely no reason to
use this in any common case, instead you can rewrite the above as:
DestroyModuleConfig a:*
*a: new_window SomeCommand
DestroyFunc SomeCommand
AddToFunc SomeCommand
+ I ThisWindow (Some_Name_Or_Rather) HugXteddy
Or better yet, since it's just one action:
DestroyModuleConfig a:*
*a: new_window "ThisWindow (Some_Name_Or_Rather) HugXteddy"
None of this precludes you needing an explicit window id to run a style
command on a specific window, namely:
DestroyFunc SomeCommand
AddToFunc SomeCommand
+ I ThisWindow (Some_Name_Or_Rather) WindowStyle foobar, !baz
Is that clearer? If this is somehow not explicit enough in FvwmEvent's
manpage (no, I haven't looked) -- say, and someone can send me a patch to
make things clearer.
But please don't conflate WindowID as a requisite to doing any specific
window style matching. That's simply not true.

I'd say it's a lot clearer now. See above.
