The Gnome 1.x pager does incremental screenshot line by line at a small

And what does it do for not viewable pages?
Nothing.. until you view those pages..

FVWM: Pager improvement suggestion
Hi A humble suggestion for pager: I use pager when working with pictures as one large virtual desktop, that I scroll around. As I use very large windows, it is useless to only have window names in the pager window. It would be a nice feature to have, besides window name, a rough bitmap of window content in the small pager window windows.
