Are you therefore saying that currently it does just that?  i.e., puts
itself in a layer above all others?

See:

Style foo StaysOnBotton

... but then I would rather see you use:

Style foo Layer 0

So you're making up syntax?

Again -- other than clutching at straws here, why are you making up
this syntax?  You won't find it in the manpage, for instance.  So what
are you thinking, exactly?  Grr!

In either case here you should be using either FvwmIdent, or xprop or
xwininfo to ascertain *properly* the window Class and using that
verbatim as the style option here:

Style Gedit Layer 0

... as an example.

What is it you're asking though?  Can you give an actual example of
what you're trying to do here, and perhaps provide your FVWM config?

The fact that you're inclined to make up syntax without even doing any
form of obvious research worries me you're doing all manner of things
incorrectly.
