Will then "KillModule FvwmButtons" mean kill only one alias (no alias)
or all aliases? Currently you can do both variants (for example, I use
"KillModule FvwmEvent to kill all event listeners). This was the reason
of this KillModule syntax, another reason is similarity of the Module
and KillModule syntaxes regarding aliases. Finally, currently you may
define "Module FvwmIconMan MyLeftTopBar" and it works.

The global problem we have with aliases is that alias is optional for
modules, once we make the alias concept to be mandatory for all modules,
we may then think about changing the syntax of all module commands.
I will start a new thread about this later.

Mikhael.
