I suppose those letters indicate title bar button functions?
Is that 3 on the left, 3 on the right?

With Fvwm2 you get a bit more control.
Up to 10 buttons, images, vectors, mini-icons, etc for each
button.  Different appearance for 4 states.

Then the action you bind to each button can be just about
anything and can vary depending on the mouse button you click with,
and separate actions for single/double/triple click.

A single letter would never do.
