Thanks Dan, that did the trick: I added
Style * EWMHPlacementIgnoreWorkingArea Style * EWMHMaximizeIgnoreWorkingArea which solved the problem.
Part of my confusion in understanding your first message is that I was referring to the stable fvwm man page,
http://www.fvwm.org/documentation/manpages/stable/fvwm2.php
I didn't realize that this was a feature only of the unstable version.
thanks again, I'm really happy to solve this! --Jim

thanks for that idea; I did try Style * GNOMEIgnoreHints, to no effect. As for ewmh, this would require installation of the fvwm-ewmh package? I am in the midest of trying to repair my system after getting various library conflicts from manual installations versus apt-gets of debian packages, so if there is a solution within fvwm2 this would be best.
No, you should not need the fvwm-ewmh package, (whatever that is), if your copy of fvwm is built with ewmh support (it should be) then the ewmh commands should work.
Note that the maximize command has a argument that tells it to ignore these hints too.

When I maximize windows now, they do not fill the screen as they used to, instead only that part of the screen not taken by the panel. The new gnome panel is sending window hints (more like commands than hints!) that the old one did not. How can I override this so that windows cover up the panel when they are maximized, or otherwise invoked?
Look in the man page for GnomeIgnoreHints, and the EWMH flags, like EMWHIgnoreWorkingArea.
