Um... if you pipe the output through a filter, which dumps xterm control
sequences, then yes, you can, but that isn't really fvwm related...
The sequences you want are:
CSI 1 t
and
CSI 2 t
[ I can send you a perl script that converts those symbolic sequences into
7 or 8 bit control sequences, if you like, since I wrote one the other
day... synchronicity is spooky ]
I think CSI is: [7bit]: 0x1b 0x5b
or: [8bit]: 0x9b
depending on whether you're in 7 or 8 bit mode...
You might be able to do other funky things with setting the xterm names
and FvwmEvent, iirc, but I don't really know much about that.
