Hi,

I've just started using Cairo-Dock as a replacement for FVWMTaskBar in FVWM2… 
and so far, things are working well.  I have it running on two Debian 10 
machines (an old Samsung netbook and a Raspberry Pi 3 with 7" touchscreen), and 
my laptop running Gentoo.  I might drag my desktop from work up and get it 
running there too (it runs Ubuntu 18.04).

One thing I'd like to be able to do though, is trigger events on Cairo-Dock 
through the FVWM menu / keyboard shortcut system.

At the moment, I just tap the Logo key on the keyboard, a menu pops up with a 
small pop-up menu with further operations that can be accessed by individual 
keys.  Adding Cairo-Dock actions to that menu would be brilliant.

Possibly the easiest way would be for some command line tool that tells 
Cairo-Dock to perform an action like "open Application Menu" or "set focus to 
system tray".  Maybe it talks to cairo-dock via dbus, directly through the X 
server, or something else, not sure.

I would just then need to add an item to my menu that calls "Exec exec 
cairo-dock-do-something my-action".  This would work no matter what the desktop 
environment or window manager is, FVWM2, twm, Fluxbox, awesome, anything you 
care to mention.

I tried asking this on the forum, you might see a few registration attempts 
from me, the forum just seemed to send me back to the registration page with no 
explanation why.  Thankfully there's LaunchPad.

Regards,
Stuart Longland
