Sorry for bad english, I will try to explain my problems as I can.
As I sayd some time ago, now I try to use a one large desktop with lot
of nonoverlapped windows. I use "Scroll" command for positioning
viewport (i.e. I not use "Pages" or "Deskstops" metaphor, my desktop
looks like battlefield in strategy games).
I use fvwm about two years, and in standart metaphor it is a best wm.
I choose fvwm for my task because it is a most flexible wm (sawfish is
flexible too, but sawfish is not developed now). My metaphor looks
interesting, and during last week I more and more like it :)
A most important thing in this metaphor is "focused window should be
in attention locus, i.e. as far as possible in center of a viewport"
I asked here about placement windows on whole multipaged desk, not on
current page only. OK, now I can't do it by fvwm.
So, question number one: anybody needs such feature, or not? Maybe
this is not to hard to implement? I have no time for try to fix it by
myself - I'm not a C programmer and can't fix it in short time :(
Question number two: I report a bug (in my opinion it is a bug) about
wrong behavior of WarpToWindow function. Shortly: this function
resets a viewport like GoToPage do it. Can I to do something with it?
Is there a workaround? I can't find a simple solution (I plan to use
CursorMove or something like it, but it is not a good solution).
I need WarpToWindow because I use SloppyFocus and I like to change
active window by keyboard. In my case fvwm should move mouse pointer
to focused window. Can I use something different than WarpToWindow?
Are there anybody with the same problems or with the same desktop idea?
PS: I can't use XFree86 for my task because of weak flexible of it.
