Re: TWM focus
I know this is not the list for that since it is not FreeBSD specific, but I tried the XFree86 list and did not get any answer... Since I'm sure some of you must are using TWM, I give it a shot. How can I make TWM to automatically focus a new window ? Each time I launch an application, a square (empty window) appears under my mouse pointer and I have to click to make the window appear, which is pretty annoying. If you have any idea... Hmm.. let's try man twm Ok... here we go: When new windows are created, twm will honor any size and location information requested by the user (usually through -geometry command line argument or resources for the individual applications). Other- wise, an outline of the window's default size, its titlebar, and lines dividing the window into a 3x3 grid that track the pointer are dis- played. Clicking pointer Button1 will position the window at the cur- rent position and give it the default size. etc.etc.etc. Probably, you could set up those X11 configuration files that tell each application how you want it to display. Alternatively, you could install a more modern window manager and solve all of your problems. _ Tired of spam?

Re: TWM focus
On Sun, Jun 01, 2003 at 09:06:12AM +0200 I heard the voice of Antoine Jacoutot, and lo! it spake thus: How can I make TWM to automatically focus a new window ? Each time I launch an application, a square (empty window) appears under my mouse pointer and I have to click to make the window appear, which is pretty annoying. If you have any idea... Put RandomPlacement in your .twmrc and it will place new windows itself. It won't give them focus though, unless they're under the mouse (since focus follows mouse). I think there's some way to make focus follow clicks instead of just the cursor, but who wants that? :) -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
