I see several solutions. Passive periodical checking (may be done using
Schedule, it is even good that Schedule does not work when you are away
from your X in this case). Or active checking, you run FvwmCommandS
module from StartFunction. And run a filter program that executes
shell command "FvwmCommand 'ActivateLogWindow'" when needed. This
ActivateLogWindow function may execute "Schedule X000 DeactivateLogWindow".
Chack out FAQ (the search keyword "Toggle") and the man pages with all
mentioned keywords.

Mikhael.
