In theory one could devise a function where drawing a penguin with libstroke would recompile your kernel.
You guys really should take a good look at the excellent examples of ALL fvwm features and functions that are included with fvwm-themes. If only for educational purposes.
Here's a snippet from the libstroke config...
# The Stroke bindings work as the mouse bindings, but:
# 1. The first argument defines the stroke motion on a telephone grid:
#
# 1 2 3
#
# 4 5 6
#
# 7 8 9
#
# Or on a numeric pad grid if the sequence starting with 'N'
#
# 7 8 9
#
# 4 5 6
#
# 1 2 3
#
# We use the numeric pad grid since we have one on our machine.
# The 0 sequence defines a single click or very small motions.
#
# 2. The second argument is the mouse button for the old way of
# handling stroke. A 0 is for the StrokeFunc, the new way to use stroke.
#
# We use mostly simple stroke motion. For complex stroke motions we need
# to consider many sloppy stroke motions for each action.
</snip>
The config file then goes on to configure a few dozen functions.
Because fvwm-themes has been designed and developed by actual fvwm developers, it's an extremely useful guide to learning fvwm tips & tricks. Worthy of installing just as a learning tool.
The fact that's it's also the most powerful theme engine I've ever seen or used is merely a bonus.
My 2 cents worth anyway.
