Hello.

For any kind of window manager (mwm, twm, uwm,...);

1. Is there a way to change the look of the menu? (for example, menu bar
instead of popup menu)

2. Is it possible for another application to issue window manager
functions? Well, they are not really functions, they are defined as
resources in the .(name)rc file.  For example, I want to create an
application that can resize other windows by sending a message to a window
manager to issue f.resize action.  Is it possible, or is it any easier than
writing my own simple window manager?

Thanks.
