Hi all, I use fvwm on a laptop. When it's docked, it's connected to a monitor with 1600x1200 resolution; when I undock it, I have a virtual screen of 1600x12000 and physical screen of 1024x768.
One of the problems that crops up is that an application will pop up modal dialog boxes (e.g., a browser's "save file" dialog) that are mapped off the edge of the physical display. Unless I think to pan to the right and check for modal dialogs, it looks like my browser has wedged. I'd like to make it such that when I'm undocked, no windows are mapped beyond the edge of the physical screen, so that I can use my laptop as if it had an effective virtual resolution of 1024x768. AFAIK, X is incapable of dynamically changing virtual screen resolutions, so I'm trying to find a workaround using the window manager. I need to do this without restarting my X server or killing running applications. Restarting the window manager is okay, though I'd prefer a method that communicates with a running fvwm. Is this possible? It seems like what I want is the ability to set the $[vp.width] and $[vp.height] variables to different values rather than having them be autodetected by querying the X server.
