As I said, a module gets M_CONFIG_INFO packets from fvwm, with text like: DesktopSize ... ImagePath ... Colorset ... *FvwmAnimate... You may add a higher level API similar to what perllib does (to work with GlobalConfig, ModuleConfig, Colorsets), but you can't just omit an asterisk when you send or match the text, because a user may have a module with any name.
