I think so, but it doesn't solve my problem. You see, the grid of dashed
lines may have the purpose of identifying individual pages, but I want to
use them for a different purpose. I want to tell FvwmPager exactly where to
place those dashed lines, regardless of page-boundaries.

But if I understand you correctly, those lines are hard-coded to the page
boundaries. Correct?
