# To subscribers of the xforms list from "T.C. Zhao" <tc_zhao@yahoo.com> :

X has a concept of window groups that are not
parent-child relationships and their behavior is not very
well defined. 4Dwm has a very annoying way handling groups
by raising windows left and right on its own. To disabling
the groups, anchored by a main window(form), use
the call fl_set_app_nomainform(). This will make all
the goodies independent of other windows/forms.
