Hi Xavier,

: (btw, when a window is swallowed, i don't see it's name anymore in the WindowList....)

Yup, in essence it's not really a toplevel window when it gets swallowed
by FvwmTabs (it gets reparented to FvwmTabs instead of the root window).

I can see it would be nice to be able to (optionally) have swallowed
windows appear in the windowlist but I don't think this is possible.
[If anyone knows a way I'll be happy to code it up.]

: (pstree -a output)
: | | |-xterm -sl 5000 -bg white
: | | | `-zsh
: | | | `-xtail /tmp/test1

Do you still get the problem if you're not running xtails?
ie. just a shell in an xterm.

I love zsh by the way. :)

These messages are output by Fvwm, not FvwmTabs. I don't know what they
mean. They're making me suspicious.

: FvwmTabs: Protocol error: bad 3 (Window); Sequence Number 70
: Opcode (40, 0) = TranslateCoordinates
: Bad resource 60818863 (0x3a005af)

This is suspicious too. But it's an FvwmTabs message. FvwmTabs is trying
to determine the position of a window but the window doesn't exist!

SCoTT. :)
