You should be aware of endless loops. Say, you listen to lower_window, get win1 then you lower all 3 windows and get 3 new lower_window events... Maybe "*FvwmEvent: Delay 2" will help you to avoid this. Is the problem that your windows are CirculateSkip? Then do: Next (FvwmPager, CirculateHit) Lower > In case you are wondering why I want to do this, here is the reason. > I have three little windows near the bottom edge of the screen. > A Pager, an Xosview, and an Xload.

This is indead the best solution. Can you try again with 2.5.x using transparent colorset and "Style FvwmButtons ParentalRelativity"?
