You'd better to get a working config close from what you want, and then edit it to suit your personal needs and tastes. Yeah, I agree to that. It's easier to adapt the someone's config than start a new one from a scratch mainly beacuse you need to have a picture of what you want from your WM and a right directions to start. I know I should need menu, taskbar and pager, but what to read, where to start from? If you're convicted only to a man pages then that's PITA. It will take hours to figure out what sections of which man pages to read. Written tutorials help a bit, but still it takes quite a lot to become familiar with a simple options. IMHO, fvwm has a lack of the good structured and a heavily cross linked documentation, the one like mutt and mplayer have. There are so many options, available keywords that can't be just bundled in a single man pages. There were also some proposals of the default configuration which is good as a guideline, but I'm sure that it wouldn't present not even the third of the available customizations.

Re: [gentoo-user] How to set an application to be on all workspaces?

Hi all
This is more of a general linux question, but in fluxbox how do you set a
program to be on all workspaces. I am using engage (from enlightenment) as a
toolbar but when run from the fluxbox startup file, it will only be shown on
workspace 1. The program itself doesnt seem to have an option show on all
workspaces so is there another way to get it on all other workspaces.
Cheers
This is what I have in my $HOME/.fluxbox/apps file regarding to have
xpad on all workspaces:
[app] (xpad)
[Dimensions] {193 143}
[Position] (UPPERLEFT) {6 695}
[Deco] {NONE}
[FocusHidden] {no}
[Sticky] {yes}
[Close] {yes}
[end]
Notice the [Sticky] {yes} line.
Application name (xpad) is taken from the first window WM_CLASS
attribute. You can get it by typing xprop WM_CLASS in the prompt and
then pointing the cursor to your running application.
