bell on failed grab
Hello, I would really like to appeal for the removal of the XBell() at line 1029 in fvwm/functions.c, part of execute_complex_function(). It doesnt serve any purpose as it is impossible to determine even if it was fvwm that rang the bell, and as no message is printed to stderr to indicate what the bell means there is no way for a user to find out what failed or what function was trying to execute when it failed. Additionally, it really drives me crazy as it makes a lot of the events supported by FvwmEvent totally unusable for me, as some of them may be triggered while the server is grabbed. Replacing the XBell() with a message to stderr stating failed to grab server in function FooBar or similar would be much more helpful to users who want to find out why their configuration isnt working, and much less annoying to users who realise that some commands may fail during a grab but want it anyway :) Thanks, Tavis -- - [EMAIL PROTECTED] | finger me for my pgp key. ---

I've had a similar problem with a different proprietary application, it
used XSetInputFocus() whenever it wanted my attention, very annoying :)
If this is what it's doing, afaik there is no way around it. I solved
it with a preload library, for example, try this:
$ cat libmatlab.c
#include X11/Xlib.h
int XSetInputFocus(Display *d, Window w, int i, Time t) { return 0;}
$ gcc -shared -fPIC libmatlab.c -o libmatlab.so
$ LD_PRELOAD=`pwd`/libmatlab.so matlab -nodesktop
If it works, you could create a wrapper script to set LD_PRELOAD before
starting matlab (dont have matlab here to test).
Hope this helps, Tavis.

Another FAQ suggestion
Hello, I have another FAQ suggestion based on a question I've seen quite frequently on irc and email, etc. feel free to modify/correct/rewrite :) Q. When I Maximize an application, sometimes I get gaps around the edges, and other times I don't. What's going on? A. The ICCCM specification allows applications to specify certain properties the window manager should honour, such as aspect ratio (PAspect) or increments to be resized in (PResizeInc). Of course, sometimes these properties won't perfectly match the size of your desktop (or ewmh struts), if that should happen, you will get gaps. In general, the application will have a good reason for doing this (for example, a terminal window may not want to have only part of a column visible), but you can make fvwm ignore the hints with ResizeHintOverride. (The docs suggest only Max/Min size is ignored with ResizeHintOverride, but that doesnt seem to be true...not that I'm complaining, I like this feature! (well, i'd prefer it didnt clobber P/USPosition, but I can live with that!)) -- - [EMAIL PROTECTED] | finger me for my gpg key. --- -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL:http://www.fvwm.org/.

faq suggestion
I have a suggestion for a faq based on a question I see quite regulary on the irc channel, something like this: Q: Why does fvwm change my X Cursor theme? A: It doesnt, there is a standard set of cursors that should always be available to applications, such as crosshair, left_ptr, arrow, pencil, etc. your theme should provide each of these cursors, but some dont. when something (eg, an application or fvwm) requests a cursor that your theme doesnt provide, X falls back to the default. If you are seeing fvwm using cursors that dont match your theme, you should use CursorStyle to change to a cursor that is available, or find a more complete theme. Note that fvwm doesnt control what cursors your applications request. -- - [EMAIL PROTECTED] | finger me for my gpg key. --- -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL:http://www.fvwm.org/.

There are variables such as $[w.id], $[w.width], etc that if accessed in the context of a window are expanded to that property. 4) Some Window commands don't accept a Window name or id, and will only use the current window.

AnimatedMove and fvwm-menu-directory
Hello, telling windows to AnimatedMove while already in an AnimatedMove operation seems to leave the server grabbed, i work around it with a simple wrapper function that uses States to make sure it's safe: DestroyFunc LockingSlide AddToFunc LockingSlide + I Test (!State 2) Break + I State 2 False + I AnimatedMove $0 $1 + I State 2 True You can test it with this: DestroyModuleConfig MoveTest: * *MoveTest: Geometry 100x100 *MoveTest: (Action Current AnimatedMove w-10p keep, Title Click Me) Module FvwmButtons MoveTest if you click it really fast a few times, you will see what I mean :) Is this workaround nescessary, or have I found a bug? secondly, is there any reason why fvwm-menu-directory has the menu name 'FuncFvwmMenuDirectory' hardcoded? I have two different functions that handle browsing directories, one is a general browser and the other browses images, in the second one I have to sed out the menu Name so that moving to a subdirectory doesnt confuse it...would a patch be accepted that stopped it from ignoring the --name option witout --reuse? you can see the functions I use here http://dev.gentoo.org/~taviso/fvwm2rc.html one is called FuncFvwmMenuDirectory, and the other is WallpaperBrowser. -- - [EMAIL PROTECTED] | finger me for my gpg key. --- -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL:http://www.fvwm.org/.

FVWM: Focus Stealing window
Hi there, I'm using an application that has a very annoying habit of making Transient windows that GrabFocus regardless of my settings. No combination of Style settings seems to disable it, even NeverFocus, I've tried: Style Waiting !FPGrabFocusTransient, !FPGrabFocus, !FPFocusByProgram, !FPLenient, NeverFocus with no luck, after a bit of investigation it seems the app calls XSetInputFocus() itself when it wants attention..arghh! Is there anyway I can prevent these windows from stealing focus? According to the man page XSetInputFocus() will only work on visible windows, so I've temporarily solved it by using StartsOnDesk -99, SkipMapping.

FVWM: Using Schedule reliably
Hi there, I'm having real trouble understanding how to use schedule correctly so that my scheduled jobs will work (or at least remain queued) during periods where, for example, the pointer is grabbed. I have a function that I would like to continue running every few seconds testing a condition, and performing an action, until the window is deleted. basically, like this: AddToFunc NewWindowFunc + I Test (foobar) Exec something + I Echo Still running! + I Schedule 5000 NewWindowFunc The idea is to keep a xwd cache of windows while they are unobscured, so that when they are obscured I can still use screenshots of them, I would like to use FvwmEvent to start a function like this in the context of all new windows, then just keep testing every few seconds (the overhead seems pretty low in my tests). But my scheduled jobs keep dissapearing, can anyone offer any suggestions? This is what I have right now, it works, but I would like to be able to just keep caching without some event happening: # FvwmEvent runs on some events: AddToFunc StartFunction I Module FvwmEvent ExposeCache DestroyModuleConfig ExposeCache: * *ExposeCache: add_window CacheWindow *ExposeCache: raise_window CacheWindow *ExposeCache: focus_change CacheWindow *ExposeCache: dewindowshade CacheWindow *ExposeCache: destroy_window Exec rm -f $[FVWM_USERDIR]/cache.$[w.id].xwd # Take a picture AddToFunc CacheWindow I ThisWindow (Raised, !Shaded, !Iconic) Exec nice xwd -screen -silent -id $[w.id] -out $[FVWM_USERDIR]/cache.$[w.id].xwd AddToFunc ExitFunction I Exec rm -f $[FVWM_USERDIR]/cache.* # WindowList style command...

iconfile and miniiconfile variables
I've found the iconfile and miniiconfile variables really handy, but the
only limitation is that without knowing the ImagePath, their use is limited
to within fvwm image settings..with a minor alteration to get the full
path, they can still be used this way, and externally...

I see, how about changing the test for True to check for False?
Maybe I should expand on that, for example, right now:
Test (True) This will happen
Test (False) This will happen
Test (Blahblahblah) This will happen
but True is still tested for as an on-condition, if this was changed to
check for False and set match accordingly:
Test (True) This will happen
Test (False) This wont happen
Test (Blahblahblah) This will happen
so Test still defaults to a match, what do you think?

FAQ Entry
Hello list, Dominik asked if I could provide a FAQ entry about Thumbnail Icons on #fvwm earlier today, so here it is... Feel free to edit it however you like :) Q. How can I set a screenshot as an Icon? A. You will need fvwm 2.5.8 or later, as this solution requires the WindowStyle command, and you should have the ImageMagick utililties available in your $PATH URL:http://www.imagemagick.org/. This function will provide a Replacement for the Iconify command called Thumbnail, which you can use in your bindings and will Raise each window take a screenshot and attempt to set the screenshot as the window's Icon. DestroyFunc Thumbnail AddToFunc Thumbnail + I Raise + I ThisWindow (!Shaded Iconifiable !Iconic) PipeRead \ xwd -silent -id $[w.id] | convert -scale 64 -frame 1x1 \ -mattecolor black -quality 0 xwd:- png:$[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png \ echo WindowStyle IconOverride, Icon $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png \ || echo Nop + I Iconify You can use FvwmEvent to remove the Icons when each window is returned to it's non Iconic state. DestroyFunc DeThumbnail AddToFunc DeThumbnail + I Exec rm -f $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png + I DestroyWindowStyle *FvwmEvent: deiconify DeThumbnail AddToFunc StartFunction I Module FvwmEvent If you cannot use DestroyWindowStyle as you require it for some other purpose, you can save the window's current Icon, and restore it when required, this solution requires fvwm 2.5.9 or later. The Thumbnail function should look like this: DestroyFunc Thumbnail AddToFunc Thumbnail + I Raise + I SetEnv Icon-$[w.id] $[w.iconfile] + I ThisWindow (!Shaded Iconifiable !Iconic) PipeRead \ xwd -silent -id $[w.id] | convert -scale 64 -frame 1x1 \ -mattecolor black -quality 0 xwd:- png:$[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png \ echo WindowStyle IconOverride, Icon $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png \ || echo Nop + I Iconify And then the Icon is restored with this function: DestroyFunc DeThumbnail AddToFunc DeThumbnail + I PipeRead echo WindowStyle Icon \\$\\[Icon-$[w.id]\\] + I UnsetEnv Icon-$[w.id] + I Exec rm -f $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png These Icons can also survive a Restart by adding this check to your StartFunction: AddToFunc StartFunction I Test (Restart) All (Iconic) \ Test (f $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png) WindowStyle \ IconOverride, Icon $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png You can also check for any remaining icons left behind and remove them in your ExitFunction: AddToFunc ExitFunction I Test (!ToRestart) \ Exec rm -f $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.* Thanks, Tavis. -- - [EMAIL PROTECTED] | finger me for my gpg key. --- pgp6bEQMXMwaj.pgp Description: PGP signature

I don't think it's possible for regular windows to be have rounded corners at the moment, however you can make menus with rounded corners by specifying a shape mask. The method for specifying a shape mask is generic enough that i'm sure whoever implemented it planned for it to apply to more than just menus one day :) 2) With *FvwnTaskBar: Button is it possible to make these buttons flat? Yes, set the sh and hi components of the colorset to the same colour, then the relief looks like a border. This works best on the TaskBAr with the 3DFvwm setting. 3) Is there a hack that will allow FvwmTaskBar to detect external mail?

aterm and ConfigureNotify events
Hi there, I'm a pretty noisy advocate of fvwm among Gentoo Linux users
and one of the questions/comments I seem to keep getting is that when
aterm terminals are being moved opaquely, they have a really noticable
Flicker...I can see this as well, but as aterm is the only application
I've ever seen it with and it works fine with rxvt (from which aterm is
derived), it must be an aterm bug.
Apparently it looks okay with fluxbox, so they must do some
aterm-detection magic (cheating :). Trying to demonstrate this to some
people I was going to use the FlickeringMoveWorkaround BugOpt, but I
can't seem to make it work..browsing the source, I cant even see how its
supposed to work.
and an xev window confirms that it still gets ConfigureNotify's while
being moved, no matter what setting it has.
Shouldnt there be some sort of check in SendConfigureNotify()?
maybe like this:
