You extended my collection of options. Thank you for that! I don't know if I want a spatial approach when I use Alt-Tab (or Win-Tab). Probably not, because I already use a spatial approach by using 12*12*3 = 432 viewports (pages, desktops - call it how you want). Usually, I have few windows on one page. Mostly one or two. Sometimes three. When I go somewhere more deeply into detail than planned, then a page can contain considerably more windows. Some windows can contain some or a lot of tabs if they are web-browser windows. In the cases when a page has more (or considerably more) than one window, I prefer a historical approach. But, I will inspect FvwmProxy during the next years, because the concept looks interesting. Perhaps I could use it for an unknown purpose when I gathered experiences with it. Today I digged out an old idea from Tue, 23 Mar 2004 09:00:54 -0800 from Piotr Zielinski to get an FvwmIconMan when I press Win+Tab and kill it when I release the Win key: http://www.mail-archive.com/fvwm@hpc.uh.edu/msg06089.html The chances increase that I indeed could get an KDE3 behaviour during the next days. - Michael -
