FVWM: Autofocus on matlab windows
Dear all, I use fvwm under debian : fvwm -V fvwm 2.5.28 (from cvs) compiled on Aug 17 2009 at 22:43:46 with support for: ReadLine, RPlay, Stroke, XPM, PNG, SVG, Shape, XShm, SM, Bidi text, Xinerama, XRender, XCursor, XFT, NLS I haevily use matlab and have the very annoying feature, that every time a figure (coming in an own window) is adressed this window gets the focus. I already searched the web and found three solutions, none of which worked: DestroyFunc UrgencyFunc DestroyFunc EWMHActivateFunc Style * !FPFocusByProgram Is there any other solution which I may try?

IIRC, Matlab uses Java in some places. I have the following in my config for some misbehaving Java apps: # java apps think they should handle focusing, but do a terrible job # this lets FVWM control focusing Style sun-awt-X11-* Lenience # same with Wine Style Wine Lenience You may want to verify that the figure windows match with FvwmIdent. -- Thanks, Jonathan Kotta Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.
