I bind the numeric key pads to call my_resizemove so that I can tile
windows easily. The piperead script makes FvwmAnimate draw an animation
of where the window is going to. Using an Exec would mean the animation
happening some indeterminate amount of time _after_ the ResizeMove (not
cool).
I have a similar one for closing windows which animates from the window
frame down to a tiny dot, just like when you switch off an old TV.
Cheers,
Tim.
