Yes, this has been done with dmenu in the past (by me, as it happens) -- but it was just a proof of concept. What you'd need to do is get FVWM to dump the window ring (with suitable conditions) to a file and have dmenu read the contents of that in: All (CurrentPage, AcceptsFocus, ...) PipeRead `... > /some/file` But this forces you to then use FvwmCommand which is never good for this sort of thing. Making this a module (perhaps expanding FvwmWindowMenu) is something I've also tried before, and it works quite well. This then doesn't need FvwmCommand or dmenu, and becomes just another way of finding windows. -- Thomas Adam
