That depends on how you do it: Style __skip_mapping_style SkipMapping $ xterm -xrm "*fvwmstyle:__skip_mapping_style" $ foobar -xrm "*fvwmstyle:__skip_mapping_style" > However I belive that this > way will be better with fvwm 3, so I'll give a try to implement it. > I alrady have a draft implementaton[1] of my earlier suggested behaviour > that I did while waiting for a reply.
