Re: FVWM: get dropbox status
Hi, list. I've come to an issue that when i start iceweasel ( debian with kernel 3.1.0-1 amd64), my FVWM quit abnormally , and come to kdm login session ( I use kdm to switch KDE and FVWM). (not always, but more often than sometimes), though i can login easily after that crash happened. ocassionly some other application would cause this problem, too, but iceweasel does it more frequently. I knew it's better for me to past additional information such as log or error message, but be mercy on me for i just don't know where to start. Any suggestion on it? best regards, you are always helpful. Source Liu
Re: FVWM: get dropbox status
Thanks for the help. I also found a CLI scipt at http://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx (direct download: http://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/dropbox.py) that allows one to check the status of dropbox. I will try both the stalonetray version as well as the CLI script. I was also thinking of adding a poll of the CLI script to conky.

Stalonetray is a stand alone system tray which should work for you. You can either place it in its own window or swallow it into FvwmButtons. A quick search should find the info you need to swallow this.

Thanks to Thomas Adam I ended up with the following lines for stalonetray: *MyFvwmButtons: (28x5, Swallow (UseOld,Close,Kill) `stalonetray` \ `Exec exec /usr/bin/stalonetray --geometry 6x1 --no-shrink \ --kludges force_icons_size -i 24 -bg black -d none -f 3`) Note that this works for me on Slackware and Arch.

Stalonetray is a stand alone system tray which should work for you. You can either place it in its own window or swallow it into FvwmButtons. A quick search should find the info you need to swallow this. There are a few issues with swallowing the tray you'll have to look into if you go this route. jaimos
FVWM: get dropbox status
Hi, After a few years away from fvwm I am glad to say I am back. I forgot how wonderful this window manager is! Nice and quick, and easy to customize (at least to me). I am using dropbox and would like to know how to check the status of the synchronization (downloading, uploading, idle). Usually there is an icon in the taskbar of other WM/DE. Is there a command I can run or a way to get the icon in the button bar? I am running Arch Linux with kernel 3.1.3-1. The dropbox daemon is running in the background (dropboxd). Thanks in advance for the help. Vince
