FVWM: FvwmRearrange more flexible ??

hi guys:
        sometimes I feel that I need such a feature from FvwmRearrange
        ( at first I thought this was done by someone using Fvwm config
files, but failing to find it, I found FvwmRearrange does it. since
there is already FvwmRearrange, this is probably not a trivial task.
so I'd better not try it)

        for tiling, fvwmrearrange either tiles vertically or horizontally,
but I feel that a "grid" tiling would be more sensible, since this
would leave the titled windows not either too "thin" nor too
"flat/squashed". for example, if I have 9 windows lying on current
desktop, I would like them to be tiled onto a 3x3 grid, and for 10,
I would probably want 3x4, or some more complex way that gives
weight/area depending on the (order that I last stayed in each
window)/(time spent in each window)......

        also it would be nice if FvwmRearrange could leave some sort of
config, or command line parameter, for specifying which/how many
windows on current desktop to tile. ( for example , "last 4 winodws
that I stayed in" ) ......


        thank you for your time

        Yang
