Thanks, that's terrific! I have yet another question which I hope
you will be able to answer. In fvwm's man page, we have:
Current [(conditions)] command
...
"Iconic", "!Iconic", "Visible", "!Visible",
...
There is no explanation of the meaning of "Visible". I can think
of several different meanings for it. Would you please clarify?
To explain my confusion, let's say my screen is 1024x768. I do:
"xterm -geometry +100000+100000". Is that xterm "Visible"?
Or suppose there is an xterm at the center of Page 1 1 in Desk 1.
Is that xterm "Visible" if I am on Page 2 2 of Desk 1? Is it visible
if I am on Desk 2?
