I'm not sure what are the "customs" of the FVWM Mailing List, both as
"general education" (do people normally reply to the list, reply
individually and cc: the list, reply individually and the original poster
has a duty to post a summary) and as "software id" (I mean, how do I
recognize a mail as coming from the list to avoid to filter it as spam, or
to filter a personal reply as spam ).
Any how I've received a couple of replies to my question on firefox (and
one on Suse), so I do an interim summary. One reply was not in cc: to the
list but essentially agreed (in a nutshell here it is ...

This agrees with the other suggestion below

Yes thanks, now it works fine those ways ...
Coming to my other issue, i.e. how to coerce firefox to use a fixed size,
I started from Thomas Adam's suggestions.

new_window event is not recognized by my version, I had to use add_window

The above syntax (the way to combine conditions) was not fully clear to
me, I had to remove all the second line to make it work. I ended with the
following :
# for firefox special
DestroyModuleConfig Event-FF: *
*Event-FF: Cmd Function
*Event-FF: PassId
*Event-FF: add_window ResizeFireFox
DestroyFunc ResizeFireFox
AddToFunc ResizeFireFox
+ "I" (!Transient) ThisWindow ("Gecko") Resize 850p 980p
I had to introduce the (!Transient) condition otherwise all the popups by
the browser came out as big as my 850x980 page !
I tried a (PlacedByFvwm !Transient) since I may not want my size to apply
to firefox windows not created at window manager startup), but
PlacedByFvwm, although documented, gives error. Or I'm doing something
silly with the syntax for condition concatenation.
... hmm, actually I'm not sure that my (!Transient) works. I mean, in
practice it works (popups are OK) but my .xsession-errors is full of
errors "No such command (!Transient) ... the same which occurred with
PlacedByFvwm.
This is why I consider this an interim summary.
Any further clue ?
