It's really not hard to do, once you understand the layout of the .fvwmrc. In fact, there's an amazing list of things that you can do once you learn to modify the .fvwmrc. From a routine in the .fvwm2rc, I believe that you can now set up an action (menu, button, hotkey, etc) that will bring your mail program to the front, uniconify it if necessary, or *RUN* it if it's not already running. Haven't been able to get it to work yet, as the sample is for xmh, and I'm using pine. Here's the key bindings you are talking about Key F7 A M Next [*] focus Key F8 A M Prev [*] focus I *BELIEVE* (haven't tried it in 2.0) that the line Key Tab A M Next [*] focus should do the trick. (Suddenly, he realizes that he's running Fvwm95 *NOW*, so modifies his .fvwm2rc95, restarts Fvwm95, and comfirms that it works) As for the task bar, it is included in the sample fvwm95rc file that comes with the Fvwm95 distribution.
