Hi all,
I use fvwm on a laptop. When it's docked, it's connected to a monitor
with 1600x1200 resolution; when I undock it, I have a virtual screen
of 1600x12000 and physical screen of 1024x768.
One of the problems that crops up is that an application will pop up
modal dialog boxes (e.g., a

It doesn't have any effect. I'm trying to keep all windows in the
Hi all,
I use MouseFocusClickRaises but I'd like the click NOT to pass through
to the underlying application. I tried setting
ClickToFocusPassesClickOff, it doesn't help. I bet it only holds for
click-to-focus windows. What else can I try?
Thanks,

I have a different but related problem: I use Lotus Notes under wine,
and when I use Ctrl-Alt-arrow to switch desktops when wine is in
focus, sometimes the Ctrl/Alt keypress _is_ sent to wine. When I
return to wine, it thinks that Ctrl or Alt was pressed but never
released.
I suspect that this
Are you letting Fvwm manage the windows?
Yes, I'm letting Fvwm manage Notes/Wine windows.
This should not happen anymore in fvwm-2.5.4 or later with key
bindings using the Any context.
I'm using Fvwm 2.5.4 with the following bindings for switching
desktops:

Last night I switched from GNOME 2 (which doesn't work well with FVWM
2.5.4) to a FVWM-only solution. The only thing I miss is the GNOME
panel.
I've configured FvwmTaskBar to do most of what I want (a few app
launchers on the left, a list of windows, and a clock on the right)
but I'd like to
I am not surprised that GNOME2 does not work well with FVWM. I hope
that FVWM 2.6 will work not so bad. However, can you describe the
problem you had?
The problems are mostly with GNOME2, not with FVWM.
I'm using the GNOME2 out of Debian unstable. First, I couldn't figure
out how to tell
as if Control, Shift, or Alt has been pressed but not
released. For example, typing 'o' might bring up the Open Database
dialog, which is normally accessed via the Ctrl-o combination.

I always start fvwm first (from gnome-session). Do you think that
starting Notes first and then fvwm later will change anything?
Both the keybindings *work* as advertised. The

Nor is it a panacea for experienced FVWM users!

I'm writing an application in Java Swing (Sun JDK 1.4.1). When the

How do I get FVWM to position the window correctly?
Thanks,

FixedPPosition works for me. Thanks for the help!

Oops, I forgot to specify the version. You're right, upgrading from
2.5.5 to 2.5.6 seems to fix it. Thanks.

Run a more current fvwm version where Break is not broken (quirk).
I think I already asked today on the list to always specify your version.

Mikhael.

I've tried on multiple occasions to reproduce the problem without
success.
Thanks for trying. I know I'm not crazy, even though I may not be able
to prove it. :)

No. It happens every other time. I logged out and logged in six
