Great! This means the fvwm-caching.patch will have to go in there too,
and probably fvwm-linecont and fvwm-popup :-) I still haven't got any
bug reports on 200396b, this could mean it's up to beta standard now.
There will be some more feature patches, but whether they come tonight
or in may is hard to say.

This was only as expected, it really was just a quick hack. But I intend
to rewrite it and resubmit it after SFR (the style flag rewrite), then it
could be used for separate windows. Will also experiment some with rotation
of title etc.

If there is any interest in this I guess I can maintain it as a patch to
the releases of fvwm until such a time that it might get included or is
forgotten/obsolete.

Thanks, I'll look at it. Hope it's faster than XGetPixel/XPutPixel - that
was _slow_.

Vyrdsamt,
