:-)

I don't think all X software will recognize this one (though it SHOULD).

And I don't like the idea of mangling the class name:
who knows what is depending from that info.

and they're both still emacses of the class 'Emacs', so why name one emacs
'vi' on one domain ?

also it's a kind of pain to alias ALL X commands on one host to have -name
sth-else and then duplicate all style commands in .fvwm2rc on order to add
StartsOnPage.

I don't know what commands I'll start on that host, but I want EACH to show
up on my lowest left page, and netscapes on the left but one page.


so in fact I'd like to use sth like
        style "*_at_*.auto" StartsOnPage X
        style "*_at_*.vlsivie" StartsOnPage Y

and still have other style options under their normal names, since all
matching options are ORed together.

cheers,
albrecht
