FVWM: Icon Placement
Dear Fvwm-list, What is the best way to coerce applications to always iconify to the same region of the desktop? I mean that for any application, I'd like them to (for example) iconify to the right side of the screen between my clock and my system monitor; instead they tend to go to the upper-left corner, which is where I put my FvwmButtons panel.

FVWM: Thumbnail icon labels
Howdy Fvwmers, I have successfully set up Thumbnail icons as according to the FAQ. Each thumbnail has a little label at the bottom that I would like to be transparent against my background, i.e. just see the text against my desktop with no window frame: a transparent tag and text hanging underneath the thumbnail. Which window style options do I tweak to affect this? Thanks, Joel -- Joel J.

Look at the IconBox style command, along with IconFill and optionally IconGrid. Then apply it to specific window classes: Style Emacs IconBox XxY, IconFill l r For instance. -- Thomas Adam

FVWM: FvwmIconMan refresh problem
Hello, I'm using FvwmIconMan swallowed by FvwmButtons module. It's configured to show only icons for current page (24x24 buttons with `DrawIcons always', `Resolution page' and `Format '). My problem appears when I iconify window on desktop A and then go thru other two pages without icons (FvwmIconMan refreshes and shows nothing). Then when I go thru these two pages or other two pages without icons back to the desktop A, icon is on desktop but not in FvwmIconMan. When I move mouse over IconMan's window it appears. Is this bug ? Exists workaround ? -- Ondrej `blami' Balaz

I added this: Style * IconBox -80 400 -1 -1 , IconFill top right And it works fine for Emacs (80% of the windows I ever see on my screen), but Firefox still goes up into the left corner. I'll play around some more. Let me know if you have any more suggestions. Thanks! Joel -- Joel J.
