FVWM: Unmanaged window and Thunderbird?
Hello, I'm trying to configure fvwm (2.6.5) in such a way that I always have a small clock in the upper right corner of my screen, with the clock always visible on top of all other windows. So in my .xinitrc I have: fvwm2 xclock -geometry -0+0 and in my .fvwm2rc file I have: Style * TileManualPlacement Style xclock StaysOnTop,!Title,!Borders,Sticky This works fine, except that when I open a new window the TileManualPlacement will never automatically place the new window even partly under the xclock, which is what I want. I would like fvwm2 to completely ignore the xclock as far as the placement of other windows is concerned. So I tried this instead: Style xclock Unmanaged which works great, except when I use Thunderbird. When I start Thunderbird, it connects automatically to my IMAP server, which requires a password, so Thunderbird opens a small window asking me for my password. For some reason when the small password window appears, Thunderbird is raised in front of all other windows, including the unmanaged xclock, which then hides the xclock... So is there any way to make this work? Either by making TileManualPlacement not take xclock into account, or by not having Thunderbird be raised in front of unmanaged windows? Or some other way? Thanks a lot. P.
Re: FVWM Patch for Interaction problem with Java 7
It's not enough to just comment this out for Java's case. I might consider a BugOpts though. The patch has been updated to be a BugOpts. See attached. I suspect the original comment was more for Tk's benefit -- can you confirm that's still the case? I assume that Tk refers to the widget set. I wouldn't even know where to start looking into that. If you can give me a pointer I can explore the topic a bit, but without some background it's hard to understand how it relates. java_fix.patch Description: java_fix.patch
Re: FVWM: Sticky Monitor
if you're not already using all 5 window buttons on each side, just add Mouse 0 8 N Stick ( '8' is the fourth button from the right ). saves all that hunting through menus. regards, siegfried. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Dobies Sent: Wednesday, 4 October 2006 01:02 To: Emilie Ann Phillips Cc: fvwm@fvwm.org Subject: Re: FVWM: Sticky Monitor Actually, the menu option is a pretty elegant solution, since it gives me more control than automatically stickying everything would.

Currently, I have a number of specific applications sticky, such as Konversation and Gaim. I keep them on the right monitor so I can keep on top of team chat while moving around the desktops. The setup rocks. Is it possible to make any window I put on the right monitor sticky? I'm starting to notice other situations where I would need to temporarily throw something on that monitor and have it sticky as I move around. It's not something I'd want to configure at the application level (for instance, I wouldn't want emacs sticky in all cases), but just on an individual basis. Thanks, - J
FVWM: How to stop FvwmPager from resizing?
OK, ahead of time...forgive me if this is a stupid question. I feel silly posting...but I cannot figure this out :( I have an FvwmPager placed in the lower right corner of my screen...no issues there I would like to disable resizing and moving of FvwmPager. Here is some of my configuration: Style "FvwmPager" NoHandles, NoTitle, WindowListSkip, Sticky, StaysOnTop Mouse 1 SF A Resize Mouse 2 TSIF A Move I stupidly thought by haveing NoHandles that would somehow disable resizing...but then having the Mouse option as such, it seems like that notion is just wrong ;) I have been looking through the man pages and nothing is "jumping right out at me." I'm not really sure how to disable the mouse on the sides or the frame -only- for FvwmPager. I'm sure it so painfully obvious I deserve the RTFM comments ;) Thanks ahead of time... Scot -- Scot P.

Re: FVWM: How to stop FvwmPager from resizing?
Björn: That didn't help...I can still resize FvwmPager. Is it possible my Mouse settings are overriding? For instance, does order in my .fvwmrc matter? Should I do Mouse settings first and Style after? Björn Steinbrink wrote: On 2006.05.30 09:59:42 -0400, Scot P. Floess wrote: OK, ahead of time...forgive me if this is a *stupid* question.

RE: FVWM: Scrolling an xterm
hi russell, button two ( middle button ) drags; it also makes the scrollbar 'jump' to any part of the scrollbar if you position the cursor there and just click it. fyi, the amount of scrolling done by buttons one and three is proportional to your distance from the top of the window. i.e. clicking at the top end of the scrollbar will scroll up or down one line at a time, in the middle will scroll half the screen at a time and at the bottom the whole screen at a time. so you can scroll up and down without having to move your mouse. it really is extremely well thought out - i wish all scroll bars worked this way :) regards, siegfried. -Original Message- From: Russell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 28 September 2002 17:22 To: fvwm@fvwm.org Subject: Re: FVWM: Scrolling an xterm Russell wrote: Hi, In .xinitrc, i have: xterm -sb -rightbar -geometry 80x25 When i open an xterm on the fvwm desktop, i get the scroll bar, and the mouse arrow changes shape over the bar, but dragging has no effect.

hi stephen, i'm running cygwin / xfree86 / fvwm ( 2.4.0 ) under nt4 - smooth as. i gave up on using reflectionx since it was a pita to get started. also i had to run fvwm on a remote box ( 1000 km away ) so it's quicker this way as well. i think it compiled as is. regards, siegfried. -Original Message- From: Stephen Dennison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 11 April 2002 07:36 To: fvwm@fvwm.org Subject: FVWM: Cygwin I recently compiled fvwm under cygwin.
