Is there a way to write a patch or an option or something else that uses the SortedWeight options to keep the list in the same order as FVWM in realtime? Some sort of function or script could determine the current FVWM order and set the SortedWeight options in a way that they reflect the FVWM order. It would be a dirty approach, but it could have a useful effect: It could make "FvwmIconMan" be a better alternative to "WindowList". It would make FVWM more flexible and more powerful. I mean, when I use FvwmIconMan in a transient mode, I don't need features like SortedWeight or multiple FvwmIconMan managers. It would not harm if some kind of FollowWindowList option would disable other features while the user wants to use this feature in this use case. The user could use both kinds of features simultaneously just by using multiple instances of FvwmIconMan anyway, if someone wants this... Just trying to find a solution ;-) Michael
