Oh... uhm... win key... always wondered, what it is good for... well,
I'm an idiot. Thanks for pointing this (both, the key and the idiot).
I will use it, nevertheless this is not exactly what I am looking for.
Can I make fvwm to react only if I start with a special key sequence? I
thought about something like calling a function, which creates all key
bindings, on the special key (call my fvwm command) and destroy all key
bindings immediately after this. It would move fvwm out of the way of
all applications once and for all (as with screen). Any hints on this?

Merry Xmas,
 regards, Frank.
