Here's an idea for ya!
Add a flag to the Windowshade function to enable this: When the mouse
rolls over a windowshaded titlebar, the window temporarily unshades,
then reshades when the mouse rolls off the window again. By rolling
over the titlebar, you suddenly have access to the whole window until
you're done, then just leave the window. Some sort of feedback needs to
be determined for unshading the window while it's in it's temporary
"preview" mode. Maybe flash the window's border, or something.
This would make fvwm2's windowshade more functional than anyone else's!
-----------------------
Adding this to the iconify'ed windows could also be useful. When they
plop-up in to "preview" mode, they appear wherever the icon was. When
you uniconify the window (say by clicking on the iconify button again in
the titlebar), it pops back to it's uniconified position.
Just don't turn these features on by default, or the Novice user could
go crazy :)
-----------------------
If wharf-like features are added to the fvwmbuttons, it would be a good
candidate for this plop-up function as well. (e.g.. if the fvwmbuttons
could be "minimized" into a single button sitting in a corner of the
screen) Just roll over it, and instant access! Shaped buttons would be
a problem here, though :(... unless there was a small (user definable)
delay on the reshade event.
