I hacked xconsole to do this as well. It's pretty straightforward to download
the xconsole source from ftp.x.org, and then add:
XMapWindow (XtDisplay (top), XtWindow (top))
to Notify(). I believe that's all you need, it was a while ago.
Works like a charm. Makes it very difficult to miss a talk request, without
the annoyance of it getting broadcast to every xterm.
The proposed fvwm addition would be pretty cool. I would much like to hear
about the feasability of doing this from someone who knows the code better
than I. I have heard though that fvwm has run out of bits to encode Style
flags, and that would be the way to implement it.
I also would be curious about how efficiently one can watch windows for output
in X11 - I sense a neat trick that I know nothing about.
