If you can't control your WM from within Emacs (/me looking at Sawfish ^_^), you can try with http://www.sweb.cz/tripie/utils/wmctrl/, it's a command line utility that permits to interact with EWMH compatible window managers, but in the home page FVWM2 isn't mentioned tho. Another option is to use an X feature (but i don't recall the name right now), that can simulate user input event on clients, yeah i know, not so useful... -- Andrea
