FVWM: hotkey to toggle raising and lowering FvwmPager

Hi,

I'd like ctrl-alt-p to RaiseLower the FvwmPager. So far, the best I've been
able to do is write a Perl script that runs at fvwm startup, that takes the
output of 'FvwmCommand send_windowlist', derives the window id of the pager
from that data, and then uses FvwmCommand to bind a RaiseLower for that id
to ctrl-alt-p.

Actually for some reason it doesn't work with 'ctrl-alt-p', but does with
'ctrl-alt-i'. That's wierd. I have no idea why that happens.

But basically I'm hoping there's a simpler, faster way of doing it. My guess
is that it works with i but not p because I'm overcomplicating the whole
thing, and just missing a much simpler approach that's not as likely to
break (at least that's what I'm hoping for).

My current (non)solution is also not very robust because if I kill the pager
for some reason and start another one, the keybinding doesn't affect the new
pager; and since I'm trying to make this work for any user, not just me,
running the script by hand each time won't help.
