Next question is about the Translucency patch..
Is Translucency only for menus? i tried FvwmPager, but it doesn't seem
to be possible... FvwmPager has StaysOnTop, so it'd be nice to see
what's in the window under it.. but i think, for that i'll need real
translucency provided by the X server. am i right?

Sorry if this message doesn't thread, I use gmane for reading this newsgroup.


One solution that I used for seeing FvwmPager when I want to is windowshading. Previously I had it so that the Pager would shade when it lost focus, but it would do that when I didn't want it to sometimes. So, I now use "manual" shading for my FvwmButtons (which swallows FvwmPager). Like so:
========================
Style FvwmButtons NoButton 1, NoButton 3, NoButton 2
Style FvwmButtons NoButton 4, NoButton 6, NoButton 8
Style FvwmButtons Sticky, StaysOnTop, Title, !Borders


#   for the title bar buttons:
Mouse 0 1       A       Menu MenuFvwmWindowOps2 Close
Mouse 0 4       A       Maximize 95 100
Mouse 2 4       A       Maximize 0 100
Mouse 3 4       A       Maximize grow 0
Mouse 0 2       A       Close
Mouse 0 3       A       Stick
Mouse 0 6       A       Iconify
Mouse 0 8       A       Layer 0 6 Toggle
Mouse 0 5       A       WindowShade
=========================

So, hence now it stays on the right side of my screen and I shade it whenever I want to and it stays out of the way of my work and when I want it to be there no matter what, I unshade it. Just an alternative solution to the translucency (which I don't think is in X yet...).

e.g.
+-----+-----+-----+
|                 |
+             +---+
|     Desk0   |Pgr|
+             +---+
|                 |
+-----+-----+-----+
