Hi everybody,
thanks to Chuck, my problem is solved. I'm getting to like Fvwm even
better (is that possible?) now. The solution is to use SkipMapping
which does exactly what I want: when a window is mapped that
StartsOnDesk somewhere, the current desk isn't changed any longer.
Please excuse me for not explaining my problem clearly enough.
Several people responded with the suggestion of placing useful Wait
(or something) statements in the InitFunction. I didn't want to use
InitFunction, though, because I'd like to have the same clients
started no matter which window manager I use. (Is contemplating using
something else Blasphemy?;-)
I'm assured that SkipMapping will actually be documented in a future
release. The current (2.0.41) release of the man page sez that it's
there but not what it does.
