FVWM: XMMS_Playlist is always StickyPage and StickyDesk
Hello, I have never used StickyPage and StickyDesk but since I have upgraded from Debian Woody to Sarge my XMMS_Playlist is always StickyPage and StickyDesk. XMMS_Player and XMMS_Equalizer are normal and stay on the Page where I have started it. I was thinking, this is a change from 2.5.8 to 2.5.12/17 but it can not be, since my Devel-Workstation with a Woody-chroot is working fine with the same fvwm configuration (it is on a NFS-Share) Any suggestions? Is this posible a Bug in fvwm?

Is this posible a Bug in fvwm? No, anything to do with XMMS is almsot _always_ a bug in XMMS, since that doesn't like to obey anything any $WINDOW_MANAGER (including FVWM) might ask it to do. I suggest you ask on the XMMS mailing-list. Note that as a tip to you, you can configure XMMS to at least obey some of what the window manager says -- it's in its preferences somewhere. -- Thomas Adam

Not having used XMMS, this is just a wild guess, but you might try to style it with EWMHIgnoreWindowType. /Viktor

Not sure why you'd want it Historically I have this in my .fvwm2rc DeskTopName 0 Main DeskTop DeskTopName 1 Secondary DeskTop DeskTopSize 2x2 unfortunately all desktops must have the same number of pages and page arrangement. The idea when I did this was to use the main desktop as my working area (xterms and alike) and the secondary desktop for special/network applications. In fact I still start firefox in desk 1 pag 1, and an xterm with pine (mail) in desk 1 pag 3. I used to start a VNC viewer on my old remote Alpha in desk 1 pag 2, but since that's now almost always off, I end up using the two desktops more or less as additional pages. I also added this to the typical window menu, so I can force a window to occupy a given page in a given desktop from the menu ... AddToMenu windowops Window menu (Shift-Alt-Space) Title ... originl content + 0ccupy desktop and page ... Popup windowsend AddToMenu windowsend # Send to ... Title + desk ... Popup windowwspmenu + page ... Popup windowpagmenu AddToMenu windowwspmenu # Send to Desk Title + 1 Main MoveToDesk 0 0 + 2 Secondary MoveToDesk 0 1 AddToMenu windowpagmenu # Send to Page Title + 1 MoveToPage 0 0 + 2 MoveToPage 1 0 + 3 MoveToPage 0 1 + 4 MoveToPage 1 1 I also added this to the root menu to be able the switch desktop AddToMenu WORK_MENU_popup My Work Menu Title + Main Wsp GotoDesk 0 0 + Secondary Wsp GotoDesk 0 1 + Toggle Wsp GotoDesk prev And I also added some accelerators to do it #LC added accelerators to change workspace #control-1 2 n from desk root go to workspace 0 1 n-1 #control-0 toggles workspace #shift arrows move among pages in relative way #note that since focus cannot be given to root it might be necessary to #position on a window title or side to execute the command #Key code context modifiers function PointerKey 0 R C GotoDesk prev PointerKey 1 R C GotoDesk 0 0 PointerKey 2 R C GotoDesk 0 1 PointerKey Right R S GotoPage +1p 0p PointerKey Left R S GotoPage -1p 0p PointerKey UpR S GotoPage 0p -1p PointerKey Down R S GotoPage 0p +1p however I use these things very rarely (only when I have to run a sequence of applications switching repeatedly desks and pages). I end up to change desktop and move windows across using the pager, or, often, I make a window sticky, then change via pager, and find the window there, and eventually unstick it. I've also checked what I did once I exported my fvwm arrangement to a laptop I brought at a meeting ... but it's nothing peculiar. I exported my 2 desktop arrangement, only I made DeskToSize 4x1 because I needed a long thin pager on the bottom of the screen (which was not my preferred 1280x1024). If you are wanting to run separate desks for sessions on remote machines, you'd probably consider running VNC viewers tied to those machine, each one in full screen in a separate page or desk. If you want the remote machine login screen in the viewer, that's require some unusual configuration of the remote X and VNC servers (at least it did with a remote Alpha, I've never run the server end on Linux), but this is OT here.

Re: FVWM: How to start several Desktops?
I have my 2 desks set up so that middle clicking in a pager page sends me to that page in the opposite desk. Mouse (FvwmPager) 2 W N SwitchtoDesk AddToFunc SwitchtoDesk + I PipeRead `echo GotoDeskAndPage_func \`echo $[desk.n] | tr 01 10\` \`eval expr $[pointer.wx] \\'*\\' 4 / $[w.width] \` 0 AddToFunc GotoDeskAndPage_func + I GotoDeskAndPage $0 $1 0 I have other junk in these functions but i ripped those out here.
