  By editing the configuration file: ~/.fvwm2rc95
  one can set the extent of "maximized" windows so as to avoid the
  screen bottom in which the "taskbar" resides, viz:
        (REMOVE) + "(Un)Maximize"              Maximize 100 100
        (ADD)    + "(Un)Maximize"              Maximize 100 96 
  and several other similar chages.
