I was holding off on posting about FvwmPiazza here because I knew that people would be more interested in the upcoming 2.6.0, but mentioned it this time because I thought it might help the OP. I'm not sure what you mean by "perhaps you're better off trying to emulate XMonad by yourself". I want to use Fvwm, not XMonad. > The simpler solution would be to check for !Overlapped, and to use any one > of the PackFoo* functions found on the Internet to implement this.

True, but I thought it worth mentioning anyway, just in case FvwmPiazza gave a similar end result to what the OP was asking for, even though it takes a different approach.
