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.


I was thinking about the same thing, however server-side compositing
does not support window transparency at all (xcompmgr -a). Also the
server-side compositing does not mess with window events - it just
enables automatic compositing.

But then again, why would Overlapped condition work flawlessly with
xcompmgr 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.
