FVWM: Feature Req for FvwmWharf

        Hello list, I just wanted to submit a feature request and/or hear
from anyone who may have already made this modification or who can point out
a way to do what I want with the existing code...

        I was hoping that FvwmWharf could include labelling functionality
like FvwmButtons. I perform a lot of ssh logins as different users to
different hosts and I wanted a certain subset of them to go into a Dock. I
use fvwm buttons right now with one button per host that logs in a me.
What I wanted was to make a Wharf that looks almost identical but
when you click on the host it explodes sideways giving a selection of
which user I want to login as. The problem is that without labels I would
actually have to make a separate XPM with text in it for every single
dock icon. I really don't want to do this. If FvwmWharf could label the
pixmaps like FvmwButtons can, that would be perfect.

        I know I could write a script to concatenate a string onto the bottom
of an xpm en masse but I would still have to name, store and configure a huge
number of individual xpm files for this purpose.

        Thanks in advance,
