Hi all,
Before the end of this month my personal website which hosts
the FvwmTabs module associated documentation will be shutdown.

module as part of the Fvwm distribution. Are people still happy
for this to happen?
If not, I can

i find that it's a pity that there isn't a simple and
useful behavior of FvwmTabs like in Fluxbox.
Indeed, in Fluxbox you just have to move the title bar of a window to
another one and the two titlebar are one.
I've never used Fluxbox but from what you say it sounds like the

That's just one purpose of the command. I was always fond of the
idea to prototype or even implement modules as shell scripts.
Yes, that would be cool. IMHO, I think it would be prudent to create
bashlib (akin to perllib), instead of adding ModuleListenOnly command.
But I
Hi Dominik et al,
This post follows on from the previous ModuleListenOnly command
which was getting a bit off-topic.
As a hack/compromise, maybe we could modify AddToFunc to keep track
of whether or not it uses a mouse modifier only then grab the
X server, in execute_complex_function().
Hi Mikhael,
DefineFunc would behave much like AddToFunc except for 3 differences:
1. It would generate a warning message if the function already existed.
This is bad. Configs should usually be re-read-able. Instead, it should
silently apply DestroyFunc. In fact, DefineFunc (combining
Just to clarify ...
In my opinion, it's not Schedule that is broken/unreliable. _Any_
function may fail to execute if the pointer is grabbed for ~1 second
at the time of execution.
It doesn't matter if a function is invoked by Schedule or not - it
can still fail to execute in either case.
Hi Oliver,
- Try to grab just 2 times (this is really fast). If the grab succeed
everything is ok. If it fails execute the function any way.
If you're happy to execute a function even if a grab fails, why go
to the trouble of grabbing in the first place? Why not just mark
your function NoGrab?
Hi Dominik,
Well, it has all been discussed in that old thread.
Many of the issues surrounding how _FVWM_ might detect if a function
needs to grab or not have been discussed, I agree with you - it's
going to be very, very difficult ... at best.
However, I feel that Dan's idea (to allow the
Hi Mikhael,
Well, years ago I suggested to make I specifier optional in functions,
because 90% of functions are immediate and there is no confusion if I
is omitted. But there was no agreement.
You would have had my vote! :)
Do you have a URL so I could read up on the discussion?
I would
Hi all,
Here is a proposed patch to add a new builtin function, Periodic.
http://members.optusnet.com.au/scottsmedley/fvwm/periodic.patch
Apply with: patch -p0 periodic.patch
It is similar to the Schedule builtin except the function is invoked
every N milliseconds - even if a grab fails, or
Hi Dominik,
Can you have multiple peridic commands or just one?
Multiple.
I suggest to replace the command Periodic with some option to the Schedule
command
The current specification for Schedule is:
Schedule delay_ms [command_id] command
So, would something like the following do?
Hi Renato,
The attached patch fixes the broken KillModule command.
Can someone please apply it?
Done. How long was it broken?
Not long. Since 2006/06/24.
By the way, I've long wanted to know the significance of
seventh guardian ... ?
SCoTT. :)
Hi Dominik,
Some hints for using the parsing functions
Thanks.
I think they are useful, so I added them as comments to the source code.
(slightly modified)
By the way, I notice that entries in ChangeLog appear not to be in
chronological order. I always use the local date - I assume that's ok?
