It's not that dangerous. Fvwm will happily carry on managing windows
while it is waiting for the window to appear, you can pop up menus and
use key bindings. All a Wait command does is to stick the rest of the
functions into a list of things to do when the window appears. The root
cursor will change into a stopwatch while it is waiting and you can
interrupt it with Ctrl-Alt-Escape.
The function to massage netscape is:
DestroyFunc SpawnNetscape
AddToFunc SpawnNetscape I Exec exec /usr/local/netscape/netscape
+ I Wait Netscape
+ I Next [Netscape] Move 12p 20p
+ I Next [Netscape] Maximize 91 89
Cheers,
Tim.
