Package: fvwm
Version: 1:2.6.7-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
sometimes I need to restart fvwm because it becomes too slow
(I do an heavy use of terminals and windows, xlsclients |wc -l often returns
~500)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
fvwm -replace 2>&1 &
* What was the outcome of this action?
every window come back to desk 1
i move windows from desk to desk like this :
# ctrl + numbers
Key 1 W C MoveToDesk 0 0 0 3
Key 2 W C MoveToDesk 0 1 0 3
Key 3 W C MoveToDesk 0 2 0 3
Key 4 W C MoveToDesk 0 3 0 3
they stay at their position on the desk though (eg, row 4, column 4, something
like coordinatinates 8000,4000 on an HD screen)
so I have to split again my windows and put them to the appropriate desk (1-3)
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expect the window to stay on the correct desk
It works as expected with fvwm 2.5, 2.6.5
Restart from the fvwm does not seems to have thoses ill effects with 2.6.7
