FvwmWinList - the FVWM window list module
FvwmWinList is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
The FvwmWinList module provides a widow list made up of buttons, each corresponding to a window that FVWM is managing. Clicking on the buttons with any of the three mouse buttons will either do a default action or can be user configured. Like the other modules, FvwmWinList only works when fvwm is used as the window manager.
The FvwmWinList module is the original work of Mike Finger.

During initialization, FvwmWinList will scan the same configuration file that FVWM used during startup to find the options that pertain to it. These options are discussed in a later section.
FvwmWinList can be invoked by fvwm during initialization by inserting the line 'Module FvwmWinList' in the .fvwmrc file.
FvwmWinList can also be bound to a keystroke, mouse button, or menu option to be invoked later, in this case using 'Transient' as an argument will cause FvwmWinList to resemble the built in window list.
FvwmWinList must reside in a directory that is listed in the ModulePath option of FVWM for it to be executed by FVWM.
The following options can be placed in the .fvwmrc file
The following are excepts from a .fvwmrc file which describe FvwmWinList initialization commands:
