You can do this with an fvwm function. I defined
AddToFunc warp-or-run "I" Next [$0 CirculateHit] Iconify -1
+ "I" Next [$0 CirculateHit] Focus
+ "I" None [$0] $1
And as part of my main menu definition I have:
+ "&Emacs" Function warp-or-run Emacs "Exec xcmd emacs"
+ "&Netscape" Function warp-or-run Netscape "Exec xcmd netscape"
I just tried it (with the standard FvwmButtons) and it works there. I
haven't had a chance to build Jarl's FvwmButtons yet, but from the
docs it looks like it should work there as well.
