The problem is that I don't think anyone is really currently maintaining
FvwmPager. I do think that every module should be that flexible
though. Another which comes to mind is FvwmButtons. It might be nice to be
able to make button 1 start up an application, and button 3 pop up a menu
which does things to the appropriate window (ie, button3 over my netscape icon
would let me choose between uniconifying, raising, lowering, etc some/all of
my netscape windows; or maybe button 2 just toggles whether netscape is
iconified).
I would be willing to volunteer to write up some code to do all this and stick
it in fvwmlib after fvwm 2.1 is officially released. It would mostly involve
cleaning up FvwmIconMan code which I aim to clean anyway. I haven't
volunteered yet though.
