Here's a weird one for you. WindowMaker has a nifty feature of grabbing
the
mouse when a meta key is pressed, so you can click anywhere in a window
and then move/resize it. I've tried to duplicate this behavior in fvwm
with the following keybindings:
Mouse 1 A M Move
Mouse 3 A M Resize
They work...sometimes. The bindings seem to come and go sporadically, with
no apparent rhyme or reason. Opening and closing windows, changing
pages...
almost any action can result in the mouse-grab behavior disappearing
or returning. When it's gone, applications receive the mouse click as they
normally would.
I can still move/resize windows by alt-clicking on the root window, then
selecting a window. But that brings up another oddity. If I alt-lclick on
root, then release the key and mouse button, select and move a window--it
won't move across page boundaries. If I leave the alt key pressed down,
though, page switching works as usual (same thing when clicking on the
window directly, I have to leave alt down while dragging--but this seems
somehow more reasonable in that context).
I hope someone can figure out this mystery! :-)
