It's possible, but the way I do it is not too nice... :( Back in the days
with Win95 I had a program that did the same and I loved it. It's very
easy to get to see transient windows again. Here's what I have in my
.fvwm2rc:
AddToFunc Move-or-Raise "M" Raise
+ "M" Move
+ "C" Maximize 0 1p
+ "D" Maximize 100 100
Mouse 1 T A Move-or-Raise
Mouse 0 8 A Maximize 0 1p
Key Tab A C Maximize 0 1p
As you can see I have a function which is singly defined for the titlebar.
The normal "Click" causes a window to Maximize to 1 pixel in height, en
null in width (keeps original width). If I move the cursor while holding
mousebutton 1, I'll move and raise the window, doubleclicking it will
maximize the window.
I also have a button (number 8) which _maximizes_ the window in that way
plus that I've added a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Tab).
The disadvantage of doing it this way is that you use the Maximize
function and that a _titlebarred_ window is brought to the top of your
screen (not in layers, but to the pixelrow 0). Anyway, it's a start... :)
Hope this helps...
