I had originally intended to enhance FvwmTalk's capabilities, but then
Toshi Isogai mailed me a new module called FvwmConsole which is
implemented differently, but basically takes care of many of the
improvements that I wanted to make.

I intend on having it be in the next beta release, which will appear
as soon as I clean up a few more things. Work and various other
things have obliterated my free time lately, so it's taking longer
than originally intended...

Hey, cool idea! I'll include these in the updated sample rc file, if
you don't mind.

Quite possibly.
