Dammit! I meant to implement it !
:)
and so it was, I just did not do very good job on debugging -
and
it was working only if pixmap geometry was requested, like :
aterm -pixmap "Rain.xpm;100x100+1+1".

Any way thanks for noticing - that needs to be fixed.

I did not get anything the first time.

Send it my way - I'll include it in the distro in the next
