Hello,
Context : GNU/Linux, fvwm-2.3.21, XFree 3.3.5, glibc-2.0.7
I have installed xrootconsole, a small utility that displays its input in a
text box transparently on the root window. This fancy utility is available
on <URL:
http://wso.williams.edu/~bgallowa/xrootconsole/>.
My background is a complex pixmap and I use xrootconsole to monitor the
/var/log/messages file with the following command :
DestroyFunction InitFunction
AddToFunction InitFunction
+ I Exec exec tail -f /var/log/messages | xrootconsole
All works like a charm, *except* when I restart fvwm with the Restart
command. The xrootconsole window stays always on top of all others windows
and this is very annoying. This problems does not appear with others window
managers like sawfish and twm.
The same effect can be reproduced when starting another xrootconsole
manually (from a xterm by example) and restarting fvwm.
Here's the xwininfo of xrootconsole :
xwininfo: Window id: 0x1c00002 (has no name)
Absolute upper-left X: 0
Absolute upper-left Y: 760
Relative upper-left X: 0
Relative upper-left Y: 760
Width: 792
Height: 104
Depth: 16
Visual Class: TrueColor
Border width: 0
Class: InputOutput
Colormap: 0x23 (installed)
Bit Gravity State: ForgetGravity
Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
Backing Store State: NotUseful
Save Under State: no
Map State: IsViewable
Override Redirect State: yes
Corners: +0+760 -360+760 -360-0 +0-0
-geometry 792x104+0-0
Why this problem appears only when restarting fvwm and how to keep xrootconsole on the lowest layer ?
Thanks in advance.
