I am still having problems with maximizing the windows thats in the FvwmIconMan. I found this in another config file:
*FvwmIconMan: Action Mouse 1 N sendcommand FocusRaise
DestroyFunc FocusRaise
AddToFunc FocusRaise
I have put that in my own fvwm2rc file but nothing happens if I click on a window in the FvwmIconManager (have tried all mouse buttons).
Works fine here. Anything in ~/.xsession-errors that would indicate why it isn’t working? Just out of interest, the same thing can be achieved as:
*FvwmIconMan: Action Mouse 1 N sendcommand "Iconify", sendcommand "Focus", sendcommand "Raise"
Does that line work for you?

That does not either. I have tried to reduce the FvwmIconMan to this:
AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I Module FvwmIconMan
Style FvwmIconMan Notitle
*FvwmIconMan: 1 ManagerGeometry 500x1+200
*FvwmIconMan: 1 ButtonGeometry 2x24
#*FvwmIconMan: Action Mouse 1 N sendcommand FocusRaise
*FvwmIconMan: Action Mouse 1 N sendcommand "Iconify", sendcommand "Focus", sendcommand "Raise"But still nothing happens when I press one of the Icons in the IconMan
Why do you have the number “1” after “FvwmIconMan:” ?

I just looked in the .xsession-errors and the last entries look like this:

fvwm is ignoring those hints. If you are having a problem with the

It seems to have something to do with FVWM, but I have no experience with these kind of errors.
There’s nothing you can do about this. It’s a problem with KDE (surprise, surprise.)
WindowListSkip is what you should use.

Ok but it worked fine in FvwmTaskBar so I guess I will go back to that, damn what a waist of time 
I also just tried with a regular xterm and that will not maximize either so I would not blame KDE. Must be something in the FvwmIconMan module, because as mentioned it works fine with FvwmTaskBar
