Re: FVWM: How to compile fvwm with stroke support
Sorry to be ignorant, but when I right click with my mouse on the root window (the background of my desktop which is in a VNC viewer), I only see the standard menu of the GNOME window manager (New Windows, New Folder, etc.). Unless this is not called the root window, then what is the root window? Thanks and sorry to sound ignorant, I am new to FVWM.

You can stop using nautilus or invoke your fvwm menus some other way. Thanks and sorry to sound ignorant, I am new to FVWM. You must be new. Replies belong in context on this list.

Re: FVWM: How to compile fvwm with stroke support
Thanks Thomas, I can't seem to get the strokes to work from my fvwm2rc file. Is there a sample file that includes strokes? This is what I have in fvwm2rc file but this doesn't seem to work for strokes. It just does standard right click showing the menus. It's attached below under the section for mouse strokes: # Unfortunately, order does matter in this file # The correct order for inserting configurations is: # 1. Colors # 2. Assorted configuration paramters such as ClickToFocus, or MWMBorders # 3. Path setup (ModulePath, PixmapPath, IconPath) # 4. Style settings, including the default style Style * ... # 5. InitFunction and ResetFunction definitions. # 6. Other Functions. Functions cannot be forward referenced from # other functions, but they can be backward referenced. # 7. Menus definitions. Same caveats about forward referencing # 8. Key and Mouse Bindings. # 9. Module options. # The order of steps 5, 6, and 7 is not critical, as long as there are # no forward references to functions or menus. # If you get it wrong, the most common problem is that color or font settings # are ignored ### # set up the colors # # OK some people like bright clear colors on their window decorations. # These people, I guess would mostly be from nice sunny/good weather places # line California. # # StdForeColor Black # StdBackColor LightSkyBlue # HiForeColor yellow # HiBackColor PeachPuff1 # PagerBackColorBlanchedAlmond # Me, I'm from Upstate New York, and live in New Hampshire, so I prefer # these dark muddy colors... #StdForeColorWheat StdForeColorWhite StdBackColorDimGrey # this is used for the selected window ##HiForeColor Wheat HiForeColor Black ##HiBackColor SlateBlue4 HiBackColor White #PagerBackColor #5c54c0 #PagerForeColor orchid StickyForeColor Black # pager colors which we don't use or have: StickyBackColor #60c0a0 # Menu colors MenuForeColor White MenuBackColor DimGrey MenuStippleColorSlateGrey # Now the fonts - one for menus, another for window titles, another for icons Fontlucidasanstypewriter-12 WindowFont lucidasanstypewriter-12 IconFontlucidasanstypewriter-12 ### # Set up the major operating modes # FOCUS STUFF ## # Set windows to auto-raise after 750 milliseconds if you like it. # Autoraise can sometimes obscure pop-up windows.

IconBox -70 1 -1 -140 # If you uncomment this, and make sure that the WindowList is bound to # something, it works pretty much like an icon manager. #SuppressIcons # StubbornIcons makes icons de-iconify into their original position on the # desktop, instead of on the current page. #StubbornIcons # With AutoPlacement, icons will normally place themselves underneath active # windows.
