Works fine for me: I move the first window by dragging the mouse, and when I release the mouse button, the second window moves too. Maybe you expected that the second window moves immediately while you drag the first one? That is not possible without the cooperation of the application; fvwm can only move one window at a time, and it was never possible to move multiple windows in a group. However, if your application supports some special EWMH protocol, the *application* can move both windows at the same time. Such applications usually have some area inside the client window where you can click to move the window. Your test application does not have anything like this. > The second window uses qt's move call to move the window to another > position. But this currently doesn't work.
