Interesting idea. Perhaps you found a way to expand the capabilities of a machine that does not provide an SSH connection. You mentioned that you liked F Virtual Window Manager....
Were you able to control a remote machine with a graphical user interface, even without a normal SSH connection to that machine? Or, what did you actually use this for?

@Earl@mast.john1126.com the use what only to connect to it with ssh in a terminal. Direct GUI over ssh (say you use ssh -X) is veeeery slow when bandwidth is low (at least in my experience). When I need GUI, I use some vnc setup (Xtigervnc). This can be tunneled into ssh, I use it all the time. It offers good responsiveness. I think it should work with my little hack, but not tested. And fvwm works fine with Xtigervnc yes.
