FVWM: Focus after Iconify
Hello, I use ClickToFocus and just IconMan, I don't use icons. When I iconify a window I expect the last focused window recovers the focus. It happens just randomly. I use the default Iconify function. I've tried adding custom functions (following what I've found in some posts in the Fvwm forum about similar issues) without success. Perhaps I don't understand well what Fvwm saves for Prev and Next windows; is this managed by FvwmWindowList function? Thanks in advance. Walter

Re: FVWM: Focus after Iconify
I've found my error. I used: DestroyFunc FuncIconifyAndFocusPrev AddToFunc FuncIconifyAndFocusPrev + I Prev (AcceptsFocus, CurrentPage, !Iconic) Focus + I Prev (AcceptsFocus, CurrentPage, !Iconic) Raise + I Iconify on for the title iconify button. But for some reason (I don't remember why I included this option) I had this: Style * CirculateSkip, CirculateSkipIcon in my general style options, that's why the above didn't work. After removing it, all works like expected. Thanks Walter PD: If you include my address in Carbon Copy I receive your message twice.

Hi, Jonathan I'd tried adding your function and activating FvwmEvent module but the issue was still there. More late I released that neither what I said in my last post had fixed it. What finally worked was a little change I did in the function I use for mouse actions on IconMan. Time ago I read this post: http://www.fvwmforums.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=33t=1933 and after trying some changes I got the function I was using till now: DestroyFunc IconManClicked AddToFunc IconManClicked + I ThisWindow (Iconic) Iconify + I TestRc (Match) Break + I ThisWindow (Focused) Iconify + I TestRc (Match) Break + I ThisWindow (!Focused) Focus + I TestRc (!Match) Break + I ThisWindow Raise But for some reason, randomly selecting windows by clicking on the iconman several times at some point altered the focus order. Now I've changed it for this: DestroyFunc IconManClicked AddToFunc IconManClicked + I ThisWindow (Iconic) Iconify + I TestRc (Match) Break + I ThisWindow (Focused) Iconify + I TestRc (Match) Break + I ThisWindow (!Focused) FlipFocus + I TestRc (!Match) Break + I ThisWindow Raise and problem solved. It was replacing Focus for FlipFocus the magic touch. Salu2 Walter
FVWM: Bitmap Fonts and UTF-8
Hello all, I've read other recent post here about the same issue but the original question is not answered there. Not a big problem but I'd like to know if it's really posible get bitmap fonts rendering utf-8 characters. I use en_US.UTF-8 locale. Using scalable fonts (i.e. xft:sans-10) all utf-8 characters are showed fine. But I couldn't get it work with bitmap fonts like: Style * Font -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1 I read the man page and tried some stated there.

I use just two, the helvetica above and a fixed (both iso10646-1). Some clue? Thanks Walter
FVWM: Speed on Interactive Move/Resize
Hello, On interactive Move/Resize the default step is 5 pixels, 100p holding Shift and 1p holding Ctrl. Is there a way of customize that? Thanks in advance.

Now I can use arrow keys (or vi / emacs keys via readline) to move the window. If I use just that keys the window moves 5 pixels each time, doing the same while I hold Shift the window moves 100 pixels each time and holding Ctrl 1 pixel.

The values 1,5,100 are defined in: libs/default.h Hi again Dan, off topic but related Reading this header file I discovered something related to other post I did here titled Bitmap Fonts and UTF-8. That the three fonts that appeared on PrintInfo output (I explained on that post not included by me on any style) are the fonts hard coded on libs/default.h: -*-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, -*-*-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Now I tried the following. I commented out all Font entries in my styles and let FVWM load the fonts itself. In theory FVWM should load some of the fonts above (Am I wrong?). Once started all defaulted to the first of the three mentioned: -*-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-* with NO errors on start up and rendering the correct characters. But if I include that font in any style entry it appears the error: [fvwm][FlocaleGetFontSet]: (-*-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*) Missing font charsets: JISX0208.1983-0, KSC5601.1987-0, GB2312.1980-0, JISX0201.1976-0 Googling, I saw that this is an old issue with utf-8 and X server trying to find the font that matches on all encodings. I don't know if all this comment is useful because that X issue seems not to have a solution.

Hi Walter, in both of your messages, you described what you get, but you didn't describe what you want instead. Please describe in detail which behavior you exactly want. Tastes of people are very different, and it is hard to guess your taste in your case. Probably xv (I haven't it on Debian) doesn't do exactly the same than display command that's why you don't understand me. The behavior expected is the same you get when you maximize a window. Imagine that you maximize a window but the program forces the real screen size on the dimensions of the buffer (not the real size of the content, the image in this case). The result is, if the external +0+0 corner of the title frame is placed on +0+0 of the physical screen the right and bottom borders are drawn out of the screen. Remember that what the program tries to do is to *resize* the frame to fit on the screen, the frame doesn't respect the real size of the image. What you obviously want is to see the whole title and frames on the screen, like any maximized window. - Michael -

FVWM: Icon name is not correctly set on latest FVWM release
Hello all,
I've noticed two issues with 2.6.5 not present in the version that comes with
Debian (2.5.30). 2.6.5 doesn't show the icon name correctly (it shows the
title name instead) and it doesn't refresh the icon name when PROMPT_COMMAND
variable is set on bashrc. I don't know if both issues have a common origin.
The second just happens using utf8 locale, probably iconv related because it
can be avoided setting xterm*utf8Title to False or compiling FVWM with
--disable-iconv or running FVWM with:
$ LANG=C fvwm
For example I use in ~/.bashrc:
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne \033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007;'
PROMPT_COMMAND+='echo -ne \033]1;${PWD/$HOME/~}\007'
This should print the typical user@host:/path/dir on window title and just
/path/dir on the icon name (and in FvwmIconMan too).
1) Icon and IconMan show the title name. Unsetting the PROMPT_COMMAND
variable and running i.e. xterm -n NAME -title TITLE the icon and IconMan show
TITLE. I didn't found any workaround to this.
2) Using utf8 locale and xterm*utf8Title set to true on Xterm the icon and
IconMan show the $OLDPWD instead of $PWD. The workarounds I mention in the
first paragraph avoid this behavior.
Finally to discard if Debian use some compile option or patch I've downloaded
the 2.5.30 from fvwm.org and compiled it just with --prefix=/usr (the same I
use to compile 2.6.5). It shows the icon name correctly like in Debian binary.

It's not an utf-8 issue like I've thought. Even using the above style entry, icons and FvwmIconMan show the window title. In 2.5.30 it doesn't happen. Besides, if Debian people refrained themselves from upgrading to the latest version it's because they found issues. Do you (or some one else here) asked them about?

Hello all,
I've noticed two issues with 2.6.5 not present in the version that comes
with Debian (2.5.30). 2.6.5 doesn't show the icon name correctly (it
shows
the title name instead) and it doesn't refresh the icon name when
PROMPT_COMMAND variable is set on bashrc. I don't know if both issues
have
a common origin. The second just happens using utf8 locale, probably
iconv
related because it can be avoided setting xterm*utf8Title to False or
compiling FVWM with --disable-iconv or running FVWM with:
$ LANG=C fvwm
For example I use in ~/.bashrc:
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne \033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007;'
PROMPT_COMMAND+='echo -ne \033]1;${PWD/$HOME/~}\007'
This should print the typical user@host:/path/dir on window title and just
/path/dir on the icon name (and in FvwmIconMan too).
1) Icon and IconMan show the title name. Unsetting the PROMPT_COMMAND
variable and running i.e. xterm -n NAME -title TITLE the icon and
IconMan
show TITLE. I didn't found any workaround to this.
2) Using utf8 locale and xterm*utf8Title set to true on Xterm the icon
and IconMan show the $OLDPWD instead of $PWD. The workarounds I mention
in the first paragraph avoid this behavior.
Finally to discard if Debian use some compile option or patch I've
downloaded the 2.5.30 from fvwm.org and compiled it just with
--prefix=/usr
(the same I use to compile 2.6.5). It shows the icon name correctly like
in Debian binary.
Hi,
See:
Style * IconTitleFormat %i

Hi Thomas,
I forgot to search for some new config option on the man page
before asking here. Thanks.
This corrected the icon name issue.
But utf8Title xterm resource still gives problem; slightly different. Now,
when I open the first time the xterm the icon shows the window title and it
changes to the icon name just after the first cd (change dir command).
With utf8Title set to false works perfectly. It's probably XTerm fault
because
it doesn't happen with rxvt-unicode.

Time ago I bothered you with the above. It wasn't a FVWM issue.
I found the solution; changing this:
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne \033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007;'
PROMPT_COMMAND+='echo -ne \033]1;${PWD/$HOME/~}\007'
for this:
(here a two instead of the zero)
/
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne \033]2;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007;'
PROMPT_COMMAND+='echo -ne \033]1;${PWD/$HOME/~}\007'
My fault I should documented myself before.

FVWM: WindowList, WarpToWindow and Focus
Hello, Two things I've noticed. First - Using MouseFocus and WindowList function without WarpToWindow, i.e.: DestroyFunc WindowListFunc AddToFunc WindowListFunc + I Iconify off + I FlipFocus + I Raise #+ I WarpToWindow 5p 5p Key Tab A M WindowList Style * MouseFocus or Style * FPEnterToFocus, FPLeaveToUnfocus I can cycle the focus over all windows using the keyboard (Alt+Tab). But if I move the pointer with my mouse over the background (no window focused) the WindowListFunc is unable to focus again any window. The curious thing is this behaviour isn't strict, some times it gives the focus to some window after two or three Alt+Tab attempts, some times it doesn't, some times it just raises the stacked window but without giving it the focus. Once *magically*, after some Alt+Tab attempts, some window gets the focus, MouseFocus allows me to cycle the focus over windows normally again with the pointer staying on root. It doesn't happen using i.e.: Key Tab A M Next (CurrentPage) Focus So perhaps it's a WindowList issue. Second -- This time commenting out Raise from WindowListFunc: AddToFunc WindowListFunc + I Iconify off + I FlipFocus #+ I Raise + I WarpToWindow 5p 5p Windows are raised anyway, unless I comment out the WarpToWindow too. AddToFunc WindowListFunc + I Iconify off + I FlipFocus #+ I Raise #+ I WarpToWindow 5p 5p Using this: Key Tab A M Next (CurrentPage) WarpToWindow 5p 5p Windows are raised too. I thought that the window was raised by WarpToWindow but using this last Key binding with ClickToFocus it doesn't. Besides, if WarpToWindow raises why to include Raise in default WindowListFunc?
Re: FVWM: WindowList, WarpToWindow and Focus
Thanks Dominik. I've realized too that not using WarpToWindow in WindowListFunc windows doesn't get the focus when switching desktops (Sloppy or MouseFocus), I mean selecting a window in another desktop from the WindowList. Walter
FVWM: ResizeMoveMaximize and EwmhBaseStruts issue
Hello, I discovered today the ResizeMoveMaximize function. I find it useful for maximize windows in half screen. But seems it doesn't understand well EwmhBaseStruts (fvwm.2.6.5). For example: With: EwmhBaseStruts 0 72 0 0 The commands: ResizeMoveMaximize frame 50 100 0 0 ResizeMoveMaximize frame 100 50 0 0 ResizeMoveMaximize frame 100 50 0 50 Ignore the Ewmh setting, and: ResizeMoveMaximize frame 50 100 50 0 besides places the window some pixels to the right.

FVWM: Force application to use my icons
Hello, Is there a effective way to force applications to use the icon I set with Style * Icon someicon.png? I accomplished that for mini icons with: Style * EWMHMiniIconOverride But I couldn't with icons. I've tried IconOverride, Icon[Dont]DonateIcon, both settings fails.
