FVWM: popup menus stay on top, please? #906
Hi folks, is there an option to make sure the F8 popup menu of xtigervncviewer is shown on top of the program's window itself? Just by accident I discovered the popup actually "pops under" sometimes, hiding it from the user. I have set ``` # # Transient Windows # Style * DecorateTransient, RaiseTransient, DontLowerTransient, StackTransientParent Style * UseTransientPPosition ``` (inherited from my old fvwm2 config), but these popups are not decorated, so either they are not transient, or something overrides fvwm. Talking about fvwm2: I cannot reproduce the problem with fvwm2, usiing the same config file. Regards Harri
FVWM: fvwm3: how to make qmmp2 sticky?
Hi folks, using fvwm3 and Style "qmmp" NoTitle, WindowListSkip, Sticky, StaysOnBottom qmmp2 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/qmmp-dev/files/qmmp/2.1/) is not sticky. The other attributes from the list work as expected. Similar Styles like Style "xclock" NoTitle, WindowListSkip, Sticky, Icon clocks.xpm show no problem with Sticky. I can also make qmmp2 sticky using the builtin "Stick" command. How comes the Sticky style doesn't work? Can anybody reproduce this? Platform is Debian 12 or Sid, fvwm3 is version 1.0.7, qmmp2 is version 2.1.4. Regards Harri

FVWM: how to escape F1?
Hi folks, I have defined several function keys for fvwm, but sometimes I would like to send F1 (for example) to the app running in the window, bypassing fvwm's function bound to it. Is there some hidden function to temporarily disable the Key bindings to forward *any* key combination to the window with input focus? Hopefully I wasn't too blind to see. Every helpful comment is highly appreciated. Regards Harri
Re: FVWM: Java applications don't get keyboard focus

select the video driver to use drop down menu
scroll to the end and select the last entry
After that fvwm used up a complete CPU (100%). A backtrace showed
where it got stuck:
* Which xine-Version?
Sorry, surely I should have been more precise. It is the
xine ui as included in Debian unstable. xine --version says
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.6cvs.
(c) 2000-2007 The xine Team.
* When I open the video driver to use list, I get a decorated
list window that appears below the headline of the box first but
jumps to the middle of the screen.
In my setup the list window has just a one-pixel frame. It does not
jump, but it stays below the headline.

scrollbar?
Either by pulling the scrollbar, or by clicking on the
down arrow below the scrollbar.
* What is the name of the list entry you select?
The last one is xvmc. But AFAICS it already dies on scrolling
the list for just one entry. Before scrolling the list I can
select the list items as expected. After scrolling I cannot
select any item from the list. Just moving the mouse over the
items seems to break it.
* How do you select it? By clicking on it with the mouse?
For me, *xine* eats up 50% to 100% of one cpu all the time.
Sorry, I forgot to mention this. xine eats up the other CPU.
If I kill xine, then fvwm is still at 100%. The window
decorations of the xine ui and around the list window are
still visible.
OTOH, if I keep xine and kill fvwm, then xine is back to normal.
Can
you please send me your fvwm and xine configuration files?
I verified the problem using /usr/share/fvwm/ConfigFvwmDefaults

Hi Thomas, Thomas Adam wrote: Right, and you would have seen various references pointing using things like 'Lenience' as a style option which *might* help, but there's no guarantee of that. Of course I had tried Style NetBeans* NeverFocus, Lenience before. Sorry, I should have mentioned it in my first post. Is there any chance that you sit together with the Java folks to get this problem solved? We've tried before. It's not something Sun seem to bothered to fix. Maybe they are more open if we can show that other window managers need some dirty workarounds to manage Java GUIs, or that AWT applications are not ICCCM compliant in general. Regards Harri

If I move the mouse into the Java window (e.g. tv-browser, or the Accurev GUI), then the Window doesn't become active. Even if I click on the header the title bar gets selected for a second (it seems to be waiting for something), but after that the Java Window is not selected. ??? Platform is native amd64. fvwm is the CVS head of 2 days ago. Java is 1.5.0-11. Any help would be highly appreciated. Use the lenient focus policy. /Viktor This did not help. Please note that there is some random behavior. The Java GUIs get focus _sometimes_, but not always. Regards Harri
