This is something which *might* happen in the future, but it depends on the attitude of the developers (as to whether it is appropriate), and indeed whether the users want it. If you're that hell-bent on 3D stuff, have a look at metisse[1] which is based on Fvwm, and uses some of the features you're so desperate in getting fvwm to support. -- Thomas Adam [1] http://insitu.lri.fr/~chapuis/metisse/ -- I know nothing, and understand even less. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
