FVWM: Setting window title
Hi Some apps have options like "-title" or "-T" to set the title of windows. Not all apps have this tho - so how can i set the title of the window when the app doesnt have such an option? is it possible? Jason

It's not possible to set (in FVWM terms) the visible_name of the window, no.
If you're lucky, some applications might respond to:
xprop -set WM_NAME some_new_title
But it likely won't work for most of the apps you're referring to (they'd
likely alread have provided a -T or -title option anyway), and note that not
application have to respond to resetting WM_NAME anyway.

Where do i submit feature requests for this? if I get what youre telling me, it is possible to do if fvwm is able to change this... visible_name value somehow? can you add this feature request somewhere please? i think it would be useful. i didn't realise you were a developer - thank you for your hard work! and to others as well, i am really enjoying this wm.
