I tried something like that. Having all the pager configuration in a
file, and sourcing it.

The problem remains the renaming: I can write "Label * <new name>" at
the end of that file, but that "*" does not expand to a real number.

I'm starting to conclude that what I want is not possible with fvwm.
(Let's hope them's fightin' words to some around here :-)
