FVWM: I need UnmanageWithTimeout :-).
As my latest experiment with the disappearing virt-manager windows, I was able to bring them up as long as I tell fvwm they should be unmanaged. Once the window exists, I can edit the fvwm config file, remove the style that says unmanaged, and restart fvwm and the windows get decorations and operate perfectly normally (until I want to popup a new one, of course). So obviously what I need is a new UnmanageWithTimeout style that waits a specified number of milliseconds before trying to manage the window :-).

Everything is relatively similar with no window manager and with FVWM until a whole batch of expose events happen in a row, then I see a PropertyNotify that refers to the WM_STATE atom, then the window gets unmapped. Anyone know of any funny shenanigans pygtk and/or fvwm (or the combination) get up to? Is it possible that the application uses EWMH to trigger a move of the window just as it's being mapped (Firefox 2 does that on session recovery, which might result in windows being moved off screen if firefox crashed on a different page than active when restarted.) Have You tried to move the window back on screen using the All cammand from FvwmConsole? /Viktor

Have You tried to move the window back on screen using the All cammand from FvwmConsole? Yep, as near as I can tell, the window really does go away (though the app doesn't exit). There is one window created by the virt-manager app that acts normal, all the other ones disappear when I try to bring them up under fvwm (unless I say unmanaged - I tried a vast collection of other style options with ignore in their name, but none of them helped :-). If I understood more about how to read pygtk code I might be able to guess why the one window is different than the other windows, but I don't really know gtk or python, much less the combination.

I take the Manpages and try to get good examples into to crate my own Documentation If so, then it's clear that you read it already, and understand anything ;-) No, I do not know anything, but I take some of the solutions discused on this list and put it into the documentation. The problem is, that I have not realy time to work on it Some people use docbook, others LaTeX, others use different things. It depends on what you want to do. LaTeX = TeXlive I didn't used TeXlive until now. I had used teTeX and other TeX-Distributions (for Mac). But teTeX will not be further maintained. :( Upstream is dead. This is, WHY TeXlive exist. If it is already installed, it should be easy to use the TeX-stuff, independently of the distribution. I have removed the whole TeTeX stuff and now installed the Denian Version of TeXlive... but I was long time not more working with any TeX stuff and some things have changed... so I am re-learning.
