I planned to add such module as either many-in-one FvwmGtkPerl or as
a separate module. It is easy to code it using Gtk-Perl to look like a
table or somithing similar to KDE or an other OS (when Alt-Tab pressed).
I just don't know how is it with images, did not have experience yet.

In your case I would wait a bit more, then with new tracker additions
your module will not have to deal with any fvwm events, it will just
request an automagically up-to-date list of window info structures.

No, I finally decided not to go with this design, it will be removed.
Instead, a statical (or dynamical, by user's request) ConfigInfo will be
just one of the many supported trackers.

Mikhael.
