My appologies Mikhael.. I forgot to send a cc to
fvwm_at_fvwm.org .. so you have an earlier email
responding to this in your migo account.

FvwmCommand sounds perfect.. I'm assuming any command
or system call from a program will pass the command to
fvwm. Is there a way to restart fvwm and specify
different fvwm config file.. or will I have to have
the program copy the desirable config to .fvwm2rc
before telling fvwm to restart?
