Right---it uses X11 terminology, the point here being "mapped". This means
"appears".

That's why I said you had to do that. It's almost as if I have you the
answer. ;)

I never said to do this. Your confusioon here is because you've decided to
conflate two completely different concepts and treat them the same. They're
not.

With the SkipMapping style plus the Nop EWMH function, no windows that I've tested will switch the desktop. Not even Firefox tabs. But if I try to remove the SkipMapping style, then all new windows once again switch the desktop. So the SkipMapping style has to stay. So yes, I have a solution :-) Thanks for your help. -Grant

FVWM: New Firefox tabs and workspace switching
I want to prevent desktops/workspaces from being switched by newly created windows. And for most new windows, doing this Style * SkipMapping will prevent the switching of desktops. But with Firefox, whenever a new tab is opened, the desktop will still switch over to the Firefox workspace. For instance, say I have Thunar and Firefox opened on separate workspaces. If I then double-click a saved webpage in Thunar, the desktop immediately switches to Firefox's workspace. Annoying... So I must ask:- 1] Can someone please tell me why new Firefox tabs don't observe the SkipMapping style above. 2] What else do I need to do to prevent the involuntary switching of workspaces in all cases. Fvwm version 2.5.30 on Debian stable. My current minimal config : http://pastebin.com/FMxN6r1c Thanks in advance, Grant
