I would say that the documentation is a bit unclear.  I just did a 'man
fvwm' and searched for "UseSkipList."  There's no explanation for it.
It's only mentioned that it can be passed to WindowList.

To me, when I read that option it says that WindowList should use the
SkipList (meaning it should honor my request to have that window not be
listed).

Obviously that's not the way it's used.
