Condition Visible does not seem to work when xcompmgr is running.
Hello, I posted about this issue on the fvwm forum at fvwm.lair.be and got redirected here. I would like to auto-iconify windows that are not visible on the screen anymore (i.e. the got totally overlapped by other windows). However the following code, does not work when xcompmgr is running at the same time: --begin-- All (CurrentPage, !Visible) Iconify True --end-- I have also tried running xcompmgr with different arguments, but with no effect. The Visible condition works perfectly if xcompmgr is not running though. I do not know if it is FVWM or xcompmgr that is at fault. I use fvwm 2.5.21 (with support for: ReadLine, Stroke, XPM, PNG, Shape, XShm, SM, Bidi text, Xinerama, XRender, XFT, NLS), xorg-server 1.3.0. Regards, Michał Kazior.

I can only guess that xcompmgr suppresses VisibilityNotify events for windows.

I expect the behind windows are Visible because they are needed for transparency - alpha compositing will require the window to maintain its entire surface as though it were on top. -- Cameron Simpson [EMAIL PROTECTED] DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ Hello, my name is Yog-Sothoth, and I'll be your eldritch horror today. - Heather Keith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
