Hello,

i worked on a small utility that you can call from fvwm,

which is used to bring forth and back any X application :

i use it for mutt (in xterm), gaim, and other utilities
i like to have everywhere i want on my desk, and yet
without taking space on my desk. (may be a icon tray
would be the thing)

this utility find the windowid in the xwininfo -root -tree ;
then stick it.

it is used as follow :

Key F4 A N Piperead "app-get 'Buddy List'"
Key F4 A S Piperead "app-get -r 'Buddy List'"
Key F10 A C Piperead "app-get sortmp3;app-get -g 'XMMS -';app-get xmix"


app-get -g means grep in the list. so, app-get -g 'XMMS -'
will get anything like 'XMMS - my mp3 track title here'

app-get -r is "reload". sometimes the windowid changes
(if you restart the app for example). it is used to
re-scan the xwininfo list and re-find the id.

hope it will be usefull.

bye
