Oh, and out of curiosity, I wonder why you're using FvwmCommand here for this, when I bet I could write something using FvwmEvent and PipeRead, depending on what it actually does... FvwmCommand's use should actually be very very specific -- and using it to communicate with FVWM when you're already inside FVWM is batty; it's like us having a conversation face-to-face with one another via a page-boy in the room. So I'd be interested to see how you're using it, and how I can suggest a cleaner way. -- Thomas Adam
