( for example , last 4 winodws that I stayed in ) .. thank you for your time Yang -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

FVWM: drag drop ...
Hi, I have looked a bit, but I cant find out if fvwm supports 'drag drop' to the 'desktop'/'root window'. I have looked at the spec from opendesktop.org and stuff, and there seem's to be somewhat of a standard for stuff like this. So does anybody know if thee is a way of making fvwm do this ? ( if not, would it be a worthwhile addition ? It doesn't seem that complicated fvwm already manages icons windows and stuff .. ). / regards, Lars Segerlund. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

Fvwm is a window manager, not a desktop environment. If you want to be able to drag and drop (which implies the use of some file manager to do it) see rox [1]. That uses a 'pinboard' on the root-window which allows you to drop things to it. The program 'dfm' also allows for this. -- Thomas Adam [1] http://rox.sf.net -- One of us is a cigar stand, and one of us is a lovely blue incandescent guillotine -- Stephen Malkmus, Type Slowly from Brighten The Corners -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

Does anyone have experience in having rox working in fvwm?, is it going to brake something if fvwm? Actually the other day I was looking for something similar to a graphical file manager, and this looks a very good option. May be I'll give it a try.

Does anyone have experience in having rox working in fvwm?, is it going to brake something if fvwm? Yes, I do. Depending on how you start fvwm, if your method (typically via startx, xdm) uses ~/.xsession, I used to have the line: rox -p mypinboard mypinboard is just a name of a pinboard -- you can define as many as you like. Or, if that's not an option, add a line to your StartFunction: + I Exec exec rox -p mypinboard Then you can start dragging stuff around. One thing I did not mention to you before, was the fact that there is also an Fvwm module called 'FvwmDragWell' which can provide XDnD support, if you so wish. Haven't used it in ages, though. -- Thomas Adam -- One of us is a cigar stand, and one of us is a lovely blue incandescent guillotine -- Stephen Malkmus, Type Slowly from Brighten The Corners -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.
