I use imfostore for a variable that can have 2 values: "2>/dev/null" or
"". When I try to initialize it to "", I get the following:

InfoStoreAdd TestVariable ""
[fvwm][CMD_InfoStore]: <<ERROR>> Bad arguments given.

I don't know if it is a wanted behaviour. But "" or '' are not the
same than a missing value.

This it is not a problem for my use case, if I do the same with a space
" ", it work fine.

I use it as an extra parameter to functions that launch external
software from the menus or buttons. That way, I can choose if I want or
not the messages from those software mixed with the ones from fvwm into
the log file, Very useful to silent the kde or gtk+ programs :)
