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.
