According to FvwmDebug, there are no configure_window messages posted
to the modules that FvwmPager could latch on to in order to detect
when a window backcolor changes. The only messages sent to the modules
in my case (restyling as a result of a window name change) are
m_visible_name, m_icon_name, and m_window_name.

FvwmPager could check for backcolor when it receives one of those but
that seems kind of silly... alternatively fvwm could brodcast an
m_configure_window message to the modules whenever a window style
changes.

Does that sound reasonable?

Thanks
Peter
