FVWM: Binding actions to sliding panels

List,

As many of you know now, I have a sliding panel at the
bottom of my screen (similar to that found in KDE).

However, the problem I am having at the minute, is
that when I open the panel so that it slides out, it
covers some of the windows already on my page.

What I would like to happen, is that when I open the
sliding panel, for all windows on that page to have
their lower border to be raised to a certain pixel
height, thus in psuedo-code:

1. When sliding panel opens
2. Raise all windows to the followinf specs:

maximize "ALL WINDOWS" 100 435p

and when I close the panel, to put the windows back
how they were originally. Is this possible???

I have been reading the man pages, and I know how to
do this (sort of), it is just getting it to happen
after the panel has been open/closed.

Furthermore, since this sliding panel is sticky, how
does this affect the other windows when I change to
other pages/desks???

Many many thanks for all your help,
Kind Regards,

Thomas Adam

(I'll get there in the end -- it's a pity that no-one
has tried to come up with a "decent" GUI-config tool.
I know DotGenerator tried, but...........)
