There are three types of window movement:

  a) Movement cause by input from the program.
  b) Movement cause by input from the program, and the program
     claims the user requested it.
  c) Movement cause by direct interaction between the user and
     fvwm.

Fvwm should always honour (b) and (c), unless the user has
explicitly disabled this.  The problem is that some programs just
claim (b) when they want to move windows to coax the window
manager into moving the window.  At the moment the code does not
differentiate between (b) and (c) anyway.  Maybe it should.
