I have a function PickAgain that I use for this purpose. This
probably isn't what you want, but maybe you'll find it useful. It
basically works like Pick but calls itself again after picking, until
you end the pick manually.
I've really got to try out the new FvwmProxy. It looks like a really good idea.
Code:
# this will let you keep picking windows until you click on root or hit ESC
# sometimes it gets run twice, e.g. 'PickAgain FvwmIdent'
DestroyFunc PickAgain
AddToFunc PickAgain
+ I Pick $*
# prevent infinite recursion (fvwm actually does this automatically,
but only after 512 iterations)
+ I PipeRead "test $[func.context] == r && echo 'PickAgain $*'"
PickAgain MoveToDesk 0 0

It always takes longer than you expect, even
when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.
