I'm having trouble getting a menu to appear in the right place.
I've got a taskbar at the bottom of the screen and a start button
(FvwmButtons) which when pressed is supposed to open a menu right above it,
like Windows '98 style. The taskbar is 25 pixels in height and i'd like the
menu to overlap the top of it by one pixel, giving the appearance its part
of it. So, appearing the very far left of the screen, 24 pixels from the
bottom. +0-24 in X geometry.
For example:
Menu SomeMenuName Rectangle +0-24 0 0m
The thing to note here is the "Rectangle" option.

Thanks Thomas,
I've tried that and it too does not work as intended. This is the
invocation line in .fvwm/config:
[ ... ]
*Panel: (1x1, Frame 1, Padding 0 0, Icon mini/mini.start.xpm, Action
(Mouse 1) 'Menu FvwmRootMenu Rectangle +0-24 0 0m')
[ ... ]
Can you see anything in that line that i've done incorrectly - that
might be the issue?
The only other thing that came to mind -- which is probably nothing to
do with it whatsoever - is the Style options i've given to the panel,
i.e. the focusing policy?
This is what I've got for that:
Style "Panel" NoTitle, !Handles, !Borders, Sticky, WindowListSkip, \
StaysOnBottom, FixedPosition, FixedSize, !Iconifiable, ClickToFocus,
CirculateSkip
