No, if FvwmBacker does what the man page says:
*FvwmBackerCommand (Desk d, Page x y) command
Specifies the command to execute when the viewport
matches the arguments for the desk d, page x coordinate
and y coordinate. Any or all of these three numeric
arguments can be replaced with an asterisk (*) to indi-
cate that any value matches, in this case Desk or Page
parts can be skipped.
Note these three lines are equivalent:
*FvwmBackerCommand (Page * *, Desk *) -solid navy
*FvwmBackerCommand () -solid navy
*FvwmBackerCommand -solid navy
plus this:
There is continued support for the now deprecated option:
*FvwmBackerDesk d command
It is functionally equivalent to using an asterisk for
both page coordinates with *FvwmBackerCommand.
So "*FvwmBackerDesk 0 ..." gets translated to "*FvwmBackerCommand (Page
* *, Desk 0) ..." which isn't quite the same thing. There seems to be no
way to stop FvwmBacker doing its thing when the page changes and the
desk matches.
I think we should change the behaviour of FvwmBacker when the Page
specifers are not included so that it _doesn't_ do its thing if only the
page changes. Similarly if the Desk specifier is not included it
_shouldn't_ do its thing when only the desk changes. Then translating
"*FvwmBackerDesk 0 ..." into "*FvwmBackerCommand (Desk 0) ..." would
work in the old way.
Cheers,
Tim.
