I added a function like this:

AddToFunc TogglePager
+ I None (FvwmPager) StartPager
+ I All (FvwmPager) Close

(StartPager is another function used to start the pager (used also in the
init, it works...)

If the pager is not running, this function starts it.
If it is running, it's closed and about a second or so later it starts
again.

I also wrote another function just to test, like this:

AddToFunc ToggleCalc
+ I None (XCalc) Exec xcalc
+ I All (XCalc) Close

it works as it should, toggling an xcalc.

Is the pager to slow to exit?
