Hi,

i have a few questions concerning different parts of FVWM which I use in
version 2.5.6 in combinatino with rox.

a) I would somehow like to have a key command to place my mplayer on top
and visible on all virtual screens (for example to whach a video whilst
surfing, chatting whatever). I only found out, that I can use StaysOnTop,
but that somehow just would keep thew window on top, not on all virtual
screens.. What would I have to do?

b) I would like to jump to a certain window containing a programm (for
example to write a script that always opens program x on a certain
command). can I somehow grep through WindowList? and if so, how can I then
focus window xy? Next question then: can I use these commands from within
a bash script or how would I do all this? (i am a bit new to this all, I
just got the configs from a friend and I am still trying to figure it all
out)

c) At work I have a Matrox G450 with 2 Monitors. Set it up in my
Xf86config, but it somehow isn't what I want. My optimal configuration
would be 2 totally separate monitors with their own virtual screens.
Switching from one phyiscal monitor to the other would _only_ work via a
key command, not by moving the mouse somewhere or doing anything else that
could happen accidentally. Is this possible? Can anybody give me some
hints how to approach this?

Well, I fear this is a bit much for my first time on this list, maybe
somebody can help me anyway, I would be very greatful anyway.

Cheers,

Julian
