Hello,
I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I'll start here.
I'm using fvwm for a thin client device and have setup the desktop (as
requested)
to mimic the windows environment (using fvwm 2.2.4 ). Even after
weeks of
hacking, some things just don't act like I'd expect .
So, a couple of fun questions:
1. When the "start" button is depressed, it always looks "depressed"
- any way to pop the start button back up ??
- any way to make the menu popup "on top" of the "start" button ?
(instead of off to the side - any magical context rectangle number?)
2. I start an application in another desktop, but when the application
closes, it never returns to the first desktop. If I don't display the
Pager, there
seems "to the user" no way to get back (at least key bindings work).
- any way to automagically return to the first desktop?
- or - any way to make the taskbar popup when a window closes??
3. What is required to get the "Beep" to work - maybe I'm missing a
driver
file or something here. (I really want beep to work from within a
FvwmScript file!)
4. Is there any way to configure the window list so that my Alt-Tab
switches
through the windows ? (The flipfocus doesn't seem to work as explained
in the manual)
Is there a way to get the window list to popup in the middle of the
screen everytime ?? (more magical context rectangle numbers :)
And in the FvwmScripts:
5. Does anyone know how to make the mini-scroll bars behave ??
- one mouse click and release increments the number by two...
- first click always increments - even if you click the down button
- Maybe my mouse bindings are messing stuff up ??
6. Are the script limitations (60 variables) being lifted in the near
future ??
7. Why can you not hide rectangle widgets ?
8. Must the mouse be pointing inside the text box to accept input
? (This is annoying!)
9. Highilighting text inside an input text box has no affect - I
expect the highlighted text
to be erased when I press a key. Any way to configure this to work ??
Anyhow, if someone has any pointers on these questions - or if you'd
like to check out
my startup resouce file just let me know.
BTW, I have written about 3K lines of FvwmScript programs to do lots of
desktop setups
stuff. I copied from other scripts around and added some of my own to
do Network setup,
Date (and time), TouchScreen calibration and Startup applications among
others. If
anyone is interested in these, just let me know...
Thanks in Advance!
