Description

If a window ID was passed along with every event, you could do something like this in ~/.pekwm/mouse:

Client { 

    Enter = "Any Any" { Actions = "Exec command -blarg WindowID" }

}

That way, a command that can be run on a specific window could be called automatically whenever the cursor enter a window, for instance.

Now unsetting the environment, required unsetenv compat code.

Good catch there, will make it static and take a client as parameter then.

Please make a small change to ActionHandler::actionExec(.). In case of !client unset the environment variables, so that old values don't get reused.

OK by IOError if the patch doesn't introduce to many changes.

Currently this dynamic menus set the environment variables CLIENT_WINDOW and CLIENT_PID when mapping, could be done in the environment but variables are expanded while parsing.

I guess doing a simple wrapper like this: 

 #!/bin/sh
 
 /path/to/real/command -blarg $CLIENT_WINDOW

Together with support for setting it in the environment should work, need to implement support for it in the exec code though if OK by IOError.
