Rewrite the code that calls HandlePaging() in events.c. One could
write another command "EdgeCommand" that defines the command to
execute when the pointer hits the screen edge. Normally, this
would be something like
EdgeCommand left Scroll -10 0
EdgeCommand right Scroll +10 0
EdgeCommand top Scroll 0 -10
EdgeCommand bottom Scroll 0 +10
(Note: the function ParseDirectionArgument() from libs/gravity.c
can parse the left/right/... bits).

That's part of the module interface only. In the fvwm core you
would execute a function like this (from events.c):
old_execute_function(
NULL, "Function UrgencyFunc", Fw, &Event, C_WINDOW, -1, 0, NULL);
