Although FvwmEvent doesn't have a way to catch bell events, I use xkbevd to implement alternate bell notifications. xkbevd allows you to run a shell command on bell events, so you could theoretically pass information to FVWM with FvwmCommand (or even something more elegant involving a FvwmPerl module.) Unfortunately, the XBell() call -- which most applications making a beep use -- does not accept a window as an argument, so xkbevd won't have a window to associate a bell with. Applications using XkbBell() to ring the bell can specify an associated window for the bell event as well as an atom for the bell name, but few do. hth, -- Ben Winslow <[email protected]>
