Hi all,

Here is a proposed patch to add a new builtin function, Periodic.

http://members.optusnet.com.au/scottsmedley/fvwm/periodic.patch

Apply with: patch -p0 < periodic.patch

It is similar to the Schedule builtin except the function is invoked
every N milliseconds - even if a grab fails, or the function fails
to execute for some other reason.

It will allow the user to do something like:

Periodic 1000 Echo Testing the Periodic builtin.
Deschedule $[schedule.last]
Periodic 1000 42 Echo Testing Periodic with explicit command Id.
Deschedule 42

Please tell me what you think of this proposed functionality.

SCoTT. :)
