FVWM: fvwm showing kill icon when starting and restarting
Hi, what could be the reason for fvwm showing its kill icon on startup and when restarting? It seems to do that since after I made some change to the configuration, and I don't remember what that change was. When it first happened, I thought "ok, it's been restarted like so often and might be confused and this will go away on a fresh start" --- but it didn't. The configuration is here: https://github.com/lee-/fvwm -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable.

I tried that once and apparently got multiple desks just by naming some, but no way to switch between them. What I'm trying to do is achieving more reasonable window placement. I found that one small window can make it so that a larger window is not placed the way I would consider reasonable. I found that out by manually moving the small window around to see what placement I would get and concluded that if fvwm would ignore the small window when it figures out the placement of the larger one, the larger window would be placed well. So I wondered if I could have fvwm ignore the small window. Now you suggest to move the small window out of the way automatically rather than manually --- something I haven't thought of :) Is there some way to make it so that a function which moves the small window out of the way is always called when fvwm is about to figure out where to place a window? And how do I prevent this function from being called when the window that is moved out of the way is placed? (In most cases, I probably won't need that because I'm using starter functions to start applications which create windows, but applications can create windows by themselves ...) -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us.

FVWM: WarpToWindow: to particular window?
Hi, with DestroyFunc WarpToTerminal AddToFunc WarpToTerminal + I Next (XTerm) WarpToWindow 50 50 DestroyFunc WarpToEmacs AddToFunc WarpToEmacs + I Next (Emacs) WarpToWindow 50 50 bound to keys, I can switch to windows of that class/name. This works great until I have, for example, three emacs frames and an xterm (all on different pages of the desktop) and want to warp between the xterm and /one particular/ emacs frame. What happens is that I warp to the xterm and then have to press the key to warp to emacs several times until I arrive at the particular emacs frame I want to go to. If I had several xterms, I'd have switch to several of them to arrive the one I'd want to go to. This makes warping a bit inconvenient. Is there a way to make it so that I automatically warp back to the last window of the same class/name I came from when I first press the key and only go to a different window of the same class/name when I press the same key again? This would allow switching between a particular xterm and a particular emacs frame out of many immediately when pressing the corresponding key once and still allow to switch to any other of them when pressing the same key multiple times. -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us.

FVWM: mouse pointer placement when using window list
Hi, is there a way to define where the mouse pointer will be placed when the window list is used to switch between windows? Apparently, the pointer is placed at the top left edge of the selected window, and it would be better for me if it was placed like in the center of the selected window instead. If this cannot be configured, a pointer to where to look in the source would be great, too. -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us.

FVWM: FVWM don't read my xmodmap's setting,why?
This is i do: 1. I have already install FVWM into my machine, and i commonly enter FVWM from command console (runlevel 3) with the command'learnman$ startx' 2. cp /opt/wm/fvwm/fvwm-2.5.8/modules/FvwmSaveDesk/example/xinitrc ~~/.xinitrc 3. The .xinitrc file have these sentences: ... usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap ... xmodmap $usermodmap ... fvwm2 -cmd FvwmM4 -m4-prefix -m4opt -I$HOME $HOME/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc I change .fvwm2rc location to /home/learnman/.fvwm/, so i put the .fvwm2rc file into /home/learnman/.fvwm/ , i think this change is right 4. And I append these keycodes into my ~/.Xmodmap file: keycode 222 = XF86PowerOff keycode 223 = XF86Standby keycode 227 = XF86Wakeup 5. I check my ~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc file, it have the sentence: ... Key XF86Standby A A Menu RootMenu Popup ~This is test the Key 6. Now i exit FVWM to command console and typestartx , the key of XFStandby do not work, i type 'xmodmap -pke |grep 222' to check the key have setted or not ,the answer is : ... keycode 222 = this is empty, it show me the key have not setted 7.But after i typed 'xmodmap -e Keycode 222 = XF86Standby ', and restart the FVWM(not exit FVWM to command console) , the key works correctly. Why? 8. By the way, i set some icons into my rootmenu such as: %mini.xterm.xpmXterm Exec exec xterm and i enter FVWM with 'startx', these icos don't display, just display correctly with restart FVWM (not exit FVWM to command console, just run restart, and the ImagePath setting is correct). I think the two problems maybe is one same question, but i can not check out the answer. Please. Yours learnman -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

Scott Smedley wrote: Hi Glen, It doesn't seem to recognize FvwmTabs as the module (window?) name. I removed the 'Style FvwmTabs...' line because it isn't doing anything. Quite right. By default perl/Tk sets the class/resource name to 'Toplevel'. To fix, replace the Toplevel() function call in createNewTabber() with this line of code: my $tl = $TOP-Toplevel(Name = 'FvwmTabs', -class = 'FvwmTabs', -title = $title); all should be fine. Scott, Bingo. I now have a Title Bar. However, NoSticky isn't working - it's still sticky. Glancing through the man pages it appears that NoSticky only works in a WindowList context. That's not a major problem. I'll just remove Sticky as a default Fvwm Module behavior and set it on an individual basis. A couple of questions: 1) When capturing web browsers, I can't type a URL into the location field. Is it supposed to behave like that? Is there a fix? 2) Is there a way to program shortcut keys so I can Alt-left or Alt-right between tabs instead of using the mouse? Great module. Thanks for writing it!

Is there a way to make it work like regular Fvwm windows? Sounds like an Fvwm config problem as I have FvwmTabs working exactly as you desire. Try something like: Style FvwmTabs NoSticky, Title in your .fvwm2rc file. Most likely, there's a: Style Fvwm* Sticky, NoTitle arlready in the .fvwm2rc. That is the problem. Make sure to add the Style FvwmTabs NoSticky, Title after it. That didn't fix it. It's not responding to any configuration options I'm putting on the line: Style FvwmTabs etc For example, Style FvwmTabs NoSticky, Title, BorderWidth 10 makes no difference. It's still Sticky, no Title, with a BorderWidth of 2. When I removed the 'Style Fvwm* Sticky, NoTitle' line it and all the other Fvwm Modules had a Title and weren't Sticky. I seem to be unable to find a way to individually configure FvwmTabs. It I need to I can leave out the 'Style Fvwm*...' line and add it individually to each module, but that wouldn't be my first choice.
