Hi there,

is it possible to achieve that fvwm ignores certain windows completely
while placing others?

I configured fvwm that it pops up a xmessage for 2 seconds when it
starts a program to show that something is happen:

AddToFunc FuncStartProgram I Exec echo Starting $0 $1 $2...>> /dev/console
 + I Exec xmessage -timeout 2 -button "" -name SplashWindow -geometry +0+0 
"Starting $0 $1 $2..."
 + I Exec $*

This "SplashWindow" should stay on top and it should be ignored by
placement algorithm: 

Style "SplashWindow" NoTitle, BorderWidth 0, HandleWidth 0, \
                     StaysOnTop, Sticky, WindowListSkip, NeverFocus

Is it possible to get this window ignored by while placing other
windows? 

The second question I have is also about window placement. I have
asked this question before and it was said to be possible in version 
>2.5.x but I have not idea how to set this up. 

My desktop looks like this:

+----------------+---+
|                |   |
|                |   |
|                |   |
|       1        | 2 |
|                |   |
|                |   |
|                |   |
+----------------+---+  
|         3          |
+--------------------+

Where 1 is the main area, 2 is a button bar and 3 is the taskbar. I
would like to set up fvwm that is places new windows only in area 1. 

Any suggestions how to get this work?

Thanks.

Uwe
