Group name matching works like Style commands. In this case, I think the current main window is called "The GIMP". Use 'xprop' and look for the WM_NAME. I think WM_CLASS also works. So try: Include "The GIMP" or some pattern like "*GIMP*". The pattern might help if they change the title later, but you risk having a name collision with something you didn't expect. I don't really use GIMP very much, but this is my current setup: *FvwmProxy: Group "GIMP" SoftInclude "The GIMP" *FvwmProxy: Group "GIMP" SoftInclude "Module Manager" *FvwmProxy: Group "GIMP" SoftInclude "Unit Editor" *FvwmProxy: Group "GIMP" AutoInclude *FvwmProxy: Group "GIMP" AutoSoft *FvwmProxy: Group "GIMP" Exclude "Preferences" Hard inclusion seemed annoying for all the little config windows, so I went all soft. I think that makes my second and third lines redundant, but I keep things around to remember window names. Perhaps you have an old man page. The current CVS one use "The GIMP" in the example. The most recent version has fine tuning of the individual behaviors as well as an option for weak inclusion that helps alleviate name collisions with common titles. My latest thought is to be able to allow stickiness in the vertical and horizontal to be activated independently. I often have columns of shells where I wouldn't want to the horizontal separators catching each other. It might also be nice to have multiple isolated groups stick together, but I'm not sure what sort of UI would allow that to be intuitive. -- Jason Weber
