fvwm events for gaim!

I posed this to the fvwm-users mailing list a month back . . . So, I'm thinking . . . I like having my terminals the full height of my display, except, when I get an instant message and I get that little damned pop up window, which I have stickied, so I don't miss any important conversations.

As such, I've had an idea. Whenever a new window is created have fvwm check to see if it is a chat window, and if it is, resize all my terminals so that the chat can fit unobtrusivly below them.

I have a sort of idea on how to do this, but I was wondering if anyone else had experience with something of this nature, or how to do conditionals with fvwm.

Then, while waiting at the airport to board the plane (and a few hours the night before) I figured out how to do this:

I've figured this out. . . It's mostly working, there are still a few bugs to work out, and it doesn't do 100% exactly what I want it to do, but . . .

Basically, when an add_window event occurs, a test is done to see if it's a gaim window, if it is, then do some resizes of my aterms, and move that window all the way right, then pack to the left (courtesy of taviso's PackWrapperLeft)
