I only use fvwm2.  There is no problem in moving or iconifying the
taskbar.

What I do is have a popup menu from the root window that has a
submenu called window ops.  The window ops submenu has both move and
iconify actions.  When I select one of them, say move, my mouse
pointer changes shape.  I can then click on any window, for example
the taskbar, and move it.  Same for inconify.

Simplier would be to have move and iconify on the main menu.  First I
show the simplier way and then my way.

First bind a mouse butto to popup the menu when pushed in the root
window.  I use mouse button 1.

Mouse 1 R       A       Menu Main-Menu Nop

Then make a main menu with move and iconify

AddToMenu Main-Menu
+       "Main Menu		Title
+	"Move"	        	Move
+	"(De)&Iconify"          Iconify
