Hi there,

recently I saw a demonstration of plan 9 where the
presenter clicked on the root window and dragged a
rectangle to start a terminal with position and size of the
drag gesture. I think this is a really nice way to start
and place xterms or other apps.

I am thinking of writing a fvwm function to achieve this
and stuck currently at following points. 
- A grid should be drawn while dragging.
- Xterm (or another app) should be started on key release.

Any suggestions how to achieve the desired behaviour?

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Uwe
