Thanks for answering. I will think about that. Feel free to share any idea
or something if you can. I wouldn't call this "overkill". It's just another
option, fvwm has loads of it, that's fvwm itself. But I suppose it's just
about opinions.

Cheers and thanks :)

This is so sad. In the past I had enough personal and public talks with
Alex to understand what a good man he is, full of patience and respect.
I still can't think about him in the past sense. My condolences to
everyone who was in close contact with this nice man.

I may only hope I did something possibly small in the life to make Alex
happier, and I am sorry if I did not do enough. Life is so unpredictable.
Rest in peace.

Regards,
Mikhael.
