Basically, I believe that FvwmWinList would have to be modified to
check it's popup position and move itself & the pointer. Probably not
all that difficult to add. I'll put it on the TO-DO list.

BTW - pl35 has some bugs that you may run across that have been fixed
in the later levels. You might want to get a newer one (like pl38 or
shortly, pl39).
