I'm curious - does the "Refresh" line in SetWallpaper remain as it is? Does
fvwm guarantee that PipeReads are processed to completion before moving on
to the next "+ I" statement in a complex function?

(From earlier posts, I would have guessed that

+ I PipeRead 'xv -root -maxpect -quit $0; sleep 2; echo Refresh'

would have been required to guarantee the desired processing sequence.)
