Thanks for all your help in setting up FVWM; I'm very close to getting
my environment "right". Now I'd like to do something a little bit
fancy.

First, I was wondering if there was a way to use FvwmButton to start
an application AND iconify it. For example, if you have an FvwmButton
that starts Netscape, then:

* if you press it and no Netscape running, a netscape starts
* if you press it and Netscape is running, netscape iconifies
* if you press it and Netscape is running and is iconified, it deiconfies

Basically once the application is started, the button becomes an
"iconify" toggle. Is this possible?

Similarly, I was wondering if you can have an FvwmButton "swallow" the
icon of a window when it is iconified? Using the example above, if you
iconify a netscape then the icon would disappear into the FvwmButton that
started the application, instead of there being a Netscape icon on
your desktop.

Ideally, I would like an FvwmButton to be setup to:

  a) start only one instance of an application
  b) be bound to (de)iconify that application instance
  c) swallow the icon of that application when iconified

Thanks,
Sam
