I'm more interested in keeping up with FvwmPager than with Fvwm '95. :-)

I was afraid that this was the case. I can see the need for the Pixmap IDs to
stay in the packet, but I believe we still need the first three arguments to
match the standard, and putting the name at the very end really wouldn't hurt.
There may be other applications besides perl/Tk that can't directly use the
Pixmap ID.
