sorry -- i should have been much more clear. yes, my thinkpad can suspend correctly, to either ram or disk. fvwm-crystal's "Exit" menu contains a "Suspend" entry which works correctly -- the laptop gets suspended after i'm logged out. i was hoping for a similar canned "Suspend" mechanism (another menu entry, i guess) that would suspend the system without logging me out. since i think i can write a shell script to do this, here's an equivalent question: how do i add the invocation of a script to one of the pre-defined menus? > > window cycling: > > i'm used to having a pair of keys for cycling > > through the windows on a single desktop. i currently use something > > like this: > > > > Key 1 A M Next [!iconic CurrentDesk] Raise-and-Focus > > Key 2 A M Prev [!iconic CurrentDesk] Raise-and-Focus > > > > i tried adding this to a .fvwm/userconfig file, but it didn't > > work. any suggestions? > I put all my extra bindings in .fvwm-crystal/preferences/Startup ... not > sure what the proper method is. i found the "userconfig" mechanism by reading the system script which implements "Include". i'll take another look to see why ~/.fvwm-crystal might be preferred. thanks, paul =--------------------- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (arlington, ma, where it's 20.8 degrees) _______________________________________________ FVWM-Crystal-users mailing list FVWM-Crystal-users@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/fvwm-crystal-users
