If WindowListFunc includes "FullScreen off" it will work even if there is only one window.

I would think more before implementing something like this. A lot of users already have bindings that make such emergency key redundant. I may count several such bindings in fvwm-themes, for example Alt-Mouse1 inside any window opens the root menu, Alt-Mouse2 raiselowers/moves the window, Alt-Mouse3 opens the window menu and Alt-F9 iconifies the window. Another Alt-Tab based solution may be as follows. When we will support different mouse buttons in a menu, i.e. supporting different menu item actions depending on the mouse button, we could bind a window operation menu to the right mouse click in the WindowList menu. Such window operation menu could contain Iconify, Move and other window operations. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
