Re: FVWM: placing a window on startup
Viktor Griph vik...@griph.se writes: 2012/9/9 lee l...@yun.yagibdah.de: Hi, is there a way to specify the position on the screen for a window to appear when a program is started? In this case, I want to appear conky at a particular position on the screen, and conky seems not to know the -geometry option. Have a look at the PositionPlacement style option. Thanks :) This is wonderful, I didn't realise these placement options are actually styles. That must be something I remember to be a global option from fvwm1 ... PositionPlacement -0 +0 does what I want very elegantly :) Another question: Is it possible to make a particular window pop up under the pointer upon pressing a key? Particular window means that I usually have an rxvt open with a screen session. I don't want this window to be sticky. When I move to another page of the desktop, I might want to move this window to the page I'm on and place it on top of other windows under the pointer by pressing a key. Moving and raising the window is probably easy. The problem is how to let fvwm know which window I want to move to the pointer. How could I identify the window? -- http://www.asciiribbon.org/ http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1855 http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html

For this, I would mark such a window as having a State. How you do that is up to you but it could be a key-binding such as: Key foo A A State n And then in terms of your binding to move it, you would need to do: Key ... Next (State n) Move . You could use a function if you wanted something more complicated. -- Thomas Adam
