hehe - the problem I have isn't hardware, it's bioware. :)

: 
: 1. Can I run more than one FvwmTabs, at least one per desk, but probably
: multiple per desk.

Not yet, but thanks to Mikhael I've worked out how to do it (I can use
'Pick' on a per-FvwmTabs basis to add a window) & I intend to add this
functionality Real Soon Now (tm).

: 2. How about configuration?  Is that still todo?  (sizes, fonts, colors)

Yeah, TODO. You'll see a short TODO list at the bottom of the FvwmTabs
source file.

: 3. How'd you get the tabs inside the window?  I was guessing they'd
: have to go on top of the regular sizer bar.  Hmm, borderless subwindows?

I'm basically reparenting windows into a Perl/Tk app. Then just mapping
& unmapping them as necessary. The only problem with this approach is
that when the windows are reparented to FvwmTabs they no longer appear
in the windowlist. Haven't found a way around that yet.

: 4. What do you think about an auto-grab?

A very good idea. If it's not on the TODO list, it should be. I'll get
hacking on all these features after my xmas holidays, which start at
4:59pm tonight - yipee! :)

SCoTTie! :)
