That's what I had in mind. Launching a module each time would be to
expensive in terms of time. But sending a message to a module telling
'draw window number 12345' should be fast enough. I guess that new
messages should be added to fvwm to be able to handle this
mechanism. Then, those who want could design a GEM UI or a Apple Lisa
UI as they which :-)
