Hmmmm. > I just want to get four functions working - add, next, close and detatch tab. That is enough functionality for what I want to do. I want to see what would be possible if it was integrated into fvwm.
It would remove the need to create a tabber first - just join any two windows together; and also remove the second title bar - it could be integrated into the main one. The aim would be to make it transparent to the user rather than offering alot of functionality and configuration. It's just an idea I wanted to play around with based on how pekwm does this. > > You need to use XSetInputFocus(). The client window does get input focus and works normally, except that the frame decor isn't changed when the focus does. The event handlers aren't called so I can't think of anywhere to put this that would work. I also think that it is a problem with events in general and not just input focus. The thing I don't understand is how the second client is different from the first. When they are selected, they are both equal to fw->wins.client. They have the same parent, the same FvwmContext and similar setting from add_window. -- David -- http://www.fastmail.fm - A no graphics, no pop-ups email service
