Thanks, that's terrific! I have yet another question which I hope you will be able to answer. In fvwm's man page, we have: Current [(conditions)] command ... "Iconic", "!Iconic", "Visible", "!Visible", ... There is no explanation of the meaning of "Visible". I can think of several different meanings for it. Would you please clarify? To explain my confusion, let's say my screen is 1024x768. I do: "xterm -geometry +100000+100000". Is that xterm "Visible"? Or suppose there is an xterm at the center of Page 1 1 in Desk 1. Is that xterm "Visible" if I am on Page 2 2 of Desk 1? Is it visible if I am on Desk 2? Rouben -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
