Oops. Sorry, looking back thru the archive, I can see that I wasn't paying attention to this xvirtualroot thingie. > Not that I advocate setting a background using permanent xvirtualroot > windows instead of FvwmBacker module together with fvwm-root or > fvwm-themes-images utilities.

I used these options: Style XVirtualRoot CirculateSkip, StaysOnBottom, NeverFocus, NoTitle, NoHandles Style XVirtualRoot WindowListSkip, BorderWidth 0, StartsLowered Style XVirtualRoot SkipMapping, FixedPosition, FixedSize but I still got a placement outline. Did I miss an option? I couldn't move or resize the window. My root mouse and keybindings worked. But I could Delete, Destroy, or windowshade the window by selecting the command from a menu. Thats sort of odd, since I can't focus it, but I guess that makes some sense. It doesn't cooperate with xaniroc. The mouse pointer doesn't change to the root pointer either (makes sense). -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
