FVWM: Changing desktop color.

First off, I'm using fvwm95 with Linux 2.0.26 and X11R6. What I'm
wanting to accomplish is this:

When I make a ppp connect to my service provider, I'd like some sort of
notification on screen in X that PPP is active. The reason is, that
sometimes I get doing other things and forget that the PPP link is
burning away my online time. I am looking for some method of on-screen
notification be it an icon, or a thing in the Taskbar, or in
FvwmButtons, or whatnot. I figured that the easiest, and most visible
way, would be to change the color of the root window in my ip-up script,
and then when I do a 'ppp-off' my ip-down script can take care of
setting things back to normal.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
