Let me rephrase my request of 2 Sep 2009. Maybe this could be an
fvwm-compliant solution to my need (repeated at bottom).
Is there an fvwm way by which I can :
- associate to an application (which could be a do-nothing application
e.g. an xterm with a special title never opened, always iconized)
an icon which is partially transparent (say a large red ellipse with
the interior transparent)
- define such icon so that it is always at the front of any other
application even if in full screen (I suppose styles of
Sticky, WindowListSkip, StaysOnTop, NoTitle will do)
- bind the mouse to the icon so that it is moved centered on the mouse
- but allow mouse clicks (and keyboard actions) to be passed to the
underlying application as normal

laser pointer in a local presentation). The typical cursors are not that
visible after all.
Thanks
