Hi,
I have been a quiet FVWM2 user for about 10 years, solving my own
problems, and modifying my fvwm2rc file as needed.
I just switched to a new machine (64 bits) and everything is wrong,
and I cannot solve my problems any longer.
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz
Mandriva Linux release 2007.0 (Official) for x86_64
Starting with simple things :
I used to drag windows by pressing mouse-left on the title-bar,
dragging and releasing in the right place.
On my new machine, the release was uneffective, and I had to fully
click twice to drop the window. I read the manual hard, and managed
to have to click only once as follow :
Mouse 1 TS A Function "Move-or-Raise"
AddToFunc "Move-or-Raise" "H" Move
+ "C" Raise
+ "D" RaiseLower
but I would like to drop the window whenever I just release the mouse
button, without having to click.
There seem to be a distinction between interactive and drag move ...
but I failed to see how they are distinguished.
------
One major problem :
I cannot get Firefox or Seamonkey to open a window (though they get
started, and do ask me for initialisation parameters to access a
protected proxy). Both work fine with KDE ...
What could be the problem ?
Konqueror does get started ... but sometimes block, though I do not
know whether that is related to FVWM2.
-------------------
I do try to work with the man pages ... but it is a large document,
without a table of content or page numbering. And the information is
not even in alphabetical order, but organized in themes that are not
obvious to me. Very painful to use.
I would love to stay with FVWM ... but there is a limit to the price
I can pay (I mean the time I can spend).
Help welcome.
bernard
PS
Would anyone know whether it is possible to iconify tasks on the Root
window as in FVWM within KDE (rather than use the task-bar).
