Can Epoch 4.0 talk to tvtwm? I'd like to have Epoch tell tvtwm to scroll
the virtual desktop upon a window mapping so that the Epoch window is
visible.  Likewise, if I do a switch-screen, I'd like tvtwm to scroll to
the window if it is "off screen".

Is this possible, and if so, does anyone have code for doing this? I
don't know X programming (a.k.a Epoch client messages).

A few people have asked me to post a summary of responses to this.
Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to do this... according to
Chris Love of the Epoch Development Team (love@cs.uiuc.edu)

| Probably not with the present version; Epoch doesn't have a way from
| elisp to send arbitrary X events, and I don't think that a client
| messages would work for this.  I just grabbed the latest version of
| xse (an interface to XSendEvent); you *might* be able to call this
| from an Epoch shell.  Its in /contrib on export.lcs.mit.edu.

I have not tried xse (we don't have FTP access, therefore we don't have
xse). Anyone care to try it and post the results?
