Full_Name: David A. Rogers
Version: 2.4.6
CVS_Date:
OS: debian woody (current testing)
X_Server: xfree86 4.1
Submission from: (NULL) (192.207.190.2)
The problem - immediately after startup, global keys i.e. keys defined for
all contexts, do not execute.
OK, here's a minimal .fvwm2rc that shows the problem. Start fvwm 2.4.6
(at
least that's what I have) with the following .fvwm2rc. Notice that
pressing
Control-Shift-F9 does _not_ result in a beep. Now open up any other x
app.
Now CSF9 does result in a beep.
You should be able to reproduce this as long as you've got xcalc. If you
don't, try substituting any other common X app that accepts input. Note
that running xclock or other apps that don't accept input do not exhibit
the problem behavior.
Commenting any of CirculateSkip or ClickToFocus or the xcalc swallow will
result in the key working properly. Seems to be an odd interaction
amongst
them all.
I have no idea what CirculateSkip does. Its behavior is not documented in
the fvwm man. The Debian maintainer has it in the standard Debian setup -
which is how I ended up with it.
