Hi,

After a few years away from fvwm I am glad to say I am back. I forgot
how wonderful this window manager is! Nice and quick, and easy to
customize (at least to me).

I am using dropbox and would like to know how to check the status of
the synchronization (downloading, uploading, idle). Usually there is
an icon in the taskbar of other WM/DE. Is there a command I can run or
a way to get the icon in the button bar?
I'm assuming the other WM/DE display this in a system tray.

Stalonetray is a stand alone system tray which should work for you. You can 
either place it in its own window or swallow it into FvwmButtons. A quick 
search should find the info you need to swallow this. There are a few issues 
with swallowing the tray you'll have to look into if you go this route.

I had some issues with stalonetray some month ago, we've already discussed this here. Thanks to Thomas Adam I ended up with the following lines for stalonetray:

*MyFvwmButtons: (28x5, Swallow (UseOld,Close,Kill) `stalonetray` \
`Exec exec /usr/bin/stalonetray --geometry 6x1 --no-shrink \
 --kludges force_icons_size -i 24 -bg black -d none -f 3`)

Note that this works for me on Slackware and Arch.
