I thought it should be an option, too.  I'm not sure how hard that would
be to program in, though.  I'm not following that any longer.  I've
moved back to FVWM 'cause I like the flexibility I can have with it. 
You can pretty much do whatever you want if you're creative enough with
the config files.

Maybe put the idea of an option in the bug report.  Maybe that would get
a bit more attention.
