My favorite question.
You can't get exactly what you describe, but you can get close:
# Simulate the Warp function from older fvwm
AddToFunc Warp "I" Next [$1] Iconify -1
+ "I" Next [$1] focus
+ "I" CursorMove 2 2
+ "I" None [$1] Beep
+ "I" None [$1] CursorMove -2 -2
Use it like this:
Key f R N Warp "FvwmIconBox" FvwmIconBox
This function moves 2 pixels down and 2 pixels right to get the
pointer fully into the window. It is also possible to write a
function that takes arguments for how far to move. I don't know of a
way to get exactly to the center of any window.
Can't help on your other questions.
