Which was what I tried.  I managed to get maximise in one direction,
but not demaximise.  I'll try again tomorrow on the newly installed
Hoary and see if things have improved.  (I'm using Cygwin now.)

I actually thought about that,

In general it can be quite a beast, but the mouse and key binding
stuff is quite simple.  From my .fvwmrc2 from '98:

	Key Up          A       CS      Maximize 0 100
	Key Right       A       CS      Maximize 100 0

That's Ctrl+Shift in Any context and the arguments to Maximize is x
and y direction.
