Hi, folks. The snow here sure is pretty...oh yeah,
Greg sent this directly to me.
I don't have an answer for this one.

Subject: Re: FVWM: referring to current pointer co-ords
i want to do two things...
the FvwmForm thing works great but i want it to pop the form up right
under the mouse with the upper left corner being the
current X,Y of the pointer...
i also want to use FvwmEvent to cause newly created windows to pop-up
with their upper-left corner at the current X,Y of the pointer...
in order to do this i think that i need to be able to tell fvwm that X
and Y arguments that are used to refer to screen coords should be the
current X,Y of the mouse
