The gnuclient window has the window group hint set to point
to the original frame. Fvwm always keeps windows in the same
group on the same desk. At present there is no option
controlling this. You can disable the responsible code
explicitly by removing the following code:
placement.c, lines 542 to 555 (in current CVS code):
if((tmp_win->wmhints)&&(tmp_win->wmhints->flags & WindowGroupHint)&&
(tmp_win->wmhints->window_group != None)&&
(tmp_win->wmhints->window_group != Scr.Root))
{
/* Try to find the group leader or another window
* in the group */
for (t = Scr.FvwmRoot.next; t != NULL; t = t->next)
{
if((t->w == tmp_win->wmhints->window_group)||
((t->wmhints)&&(t->wmhints->flags & WindowGroupHint)&&
(t->wmhints->window_group==tmp_win->wmhints->window_group)))
tmp_win->Desk = t->Desk;
}
}
Bye
