FVWM: another feature request

Hi,

I would like to suggest a generalization of Emacs' follow mode
concept to fvwm. Most of you are probably already familiar with
follow-mode <http://www.csd.uu.se/~andersl/follow.shtml>.
For those of you who are not, I will briefly explain the concept:

Two windows A and B are opened, both showing the same file, image,
or application. The bottom of window A is the top of window B.
Hence scrolling in window A causes window B to scroll as well.

We could have the same situation with N windows.

By opening enough windows one can get a better view of the application
they are looking at, and can also display full pages of postscript on
a small screen with no need for scroll bars.

Perhaps this is a somewhat strange though useful feature.
fvwm would be the first window manager to offer it.

Neil
