Sorry, I didn't know M_MINI_ICON was window-specific (I have to add these new
packet types to fvwm.py one of these days). The "windowshade" ones must be
window-specific for sure!

my fvwm.py needs it (keeps track of windows, of course - I chose the wid for
it). I don't have fvwm sources handy, so I don't know what M_MINI_ICON is
supposed to do, but if it refers to a single window, the packet ought to carry
its id. If you say that the windowshade ones don't, that's strange... What are
the modules supposed to do with them then?
(I'll search for your patch)
PS:
I suppose this isn't exactly a popular theme in the list, since only the
module interface library programmers need to think of this. Let's see how many
for: the C library, yours in Perl, and the 2 (?) in Python... (I'm sure there's
a tcl library, but never heard of it)
Now, you module programmers: let's see those wonderful new modules you are
writing! As you see, there's plenty of language support for you ;-)
Cumprimentos,
