Not sure what you mean here - it's just a note that you can warp the pointer to an icon by using simple mathematics with one of FVWM's own internal variables. -- Thomas Adam

Slightly easier would be: Mouse ... WindowList (Iconic) foo DestroyFunc foo AddToFunc foo + I WarpToWindow 5 5 You could then even go as far as putting the pointer in the middle of the icon by simple mathematics involving $[ip.height] and $[ip.width] if you wanted. -- Thomas Adam

Nothing stopping you from creating another windowlist binding with a different function: Mouse 1 A S WindowList Function WARPER DestroyFunc WARPER AddToFunc WARPER + I Focus + I WarpToWindow 50 50 But I think you'll find that WarpToWindow is the only way to move the pointer and works on windows not icons so I don't think it's doable.
