Re: FVWM: Info on M_String

The M_STRING packet has 4 values in the body: 3 zeros, followed by the string
itself. It gets sent via:

SendToModule <pat> <str>

where <pat> is a pattern specifiying which module or modules receive <str>.
The problem here is that you are considering turning rxvt into a module, for
arguments' sake we'll call it FvwmRxvt, which will be sent some string via a
button on the title bar. So that button is bound to do:

SendToModule FvwmRxvt <str>

Let's say the user has 3 of these rxvt instances active when he clicks the
button on one of them... all 3 will get the packet.
