This seems to work pretty well, except that if you have ClickToFocus and ClickToFocusRaises enabled, it only works if you map keyboard events to GotoPage-like events. In my setup, I use the pager, and when I click on the pager it gets focus, and because it gets focus, the FvwmButtons would always be the focused window when I switched around using the pager, so my solution was to change all occurances of M_FOCUS_CHANGE in the perl script to M_RAISE_WINDOW. Then in my .fvwm2rc say: Style FvwmButtons ClickToFocus, ClickToFocusRaisesOff so that the window that the perl script tracks will not be over written just because i clicked in the pager. I suppose another solution would be to make the script explicity ignore FvwmButtons or FvwmPager focus events, but that seems like a bit of a hack anyways.. for ClickToFocus type settings this seems to be reasonable. ---------------- I've managed to get fvwm to load as a part of gnome-session (from gnome2). I'll describe the procedure here, in case anyone is interested essentially, in my .xinitrc i say: export WINDOW_MANAGER="fvwm" unfortunately, gnome-wm (which is called by gnome-session to start the wm) doesn't know about fvwm's -i option (as of gnome-session 2.2.1) so you have to hack gnome-wm and add it in yourself. If you use the default session, then fvwm will be started in a "restart on death" type of style, so you won't lose everything when it gets killed, or when it crashes. A few problems however: I can't get the gnome-panel to stay on top, and as it's drawer panels don't come to the front as well. Style gnome-panel StaysOnTop doesn't work.. what could make a "StaysOnTop" not take effect? -- "If only God were alive to see this..
