A user I am helping has lost the ability to use her pager. I believe the
problem is somewhere in her .fvwm2rc file, which I am including here,
but for the life of me I can't find the error.
Any help greatly appreciated,
- Jamie
Begin file:
# Trying to compile an old .fvwrc to the new fvwm-2.0 Format
# Unfortunately, order does matter in this file
# The correct order for inserting configurations is:
# 1. Colors
# 2. Assorted configuration paramters such as ClickToFocus, or MWMBorders
# 3. Path setup (ModulePath, PixmapPath, IconPath)
# 4. Style settings, including the default style Style "*" ...
# 5. InitFunction and ResetFunction definitions.
# 6. Other Functions. Functions cannot be forward referenced from
# other functions, but they can be backward referenced.
# 7. Menus definitions. Same caveats about forward referencing
# 8. Key and Mouse Bindings.
# 9. Module options.
# The order of steps 5, 6, and 7 is not critical, as long as there are
# no forward references to functions or menus.
# If you get it wrong, the most common problem is that color or font settings
# are ignored

# Set up the major operating modes

######################## FOCUS STUFF ##############################
# Set windows to auto-raise after 750 milliseconds if you like it.
# Autoraise can sometimes obscure pop-up windows. Performance is now
# similar to olvwm's auto-raise feature.
#AutoRaise 750
# Normally, we'll be in focus-follows mouse mode, but uncomment this
# for mwm-style click-to-focus
#ClickToFocus
######################## ICON STUFF ##############################
# Auto Place Icons is a nice feature....
# This creates two icon boxes, one on the left side, then one on the
# bottom. Leaves room in the upper left for my clock and xbiff,
# room on the bottom for the Pager.
#IconBox -150 90 -5 -140
#IconBox 5 -140 -140 -5
Style "*" IconBox -70 1 -1 -140
# If you uncomment this, and make sure that the WindowList is bound to
# something, it works pretty much like an icon manager.
Style "*" NoIcon
# StubbornIcons makes icons de-iconify into their original position on the
# desktop, instead of on the current page.
#StubbornIcons
# With AutoPlacement, icons will normally place themselves underneath active
# windows. This option changes that.
#StubbornIconPlacement
# If you want ALL you icons to follow you around the desktop (Sticky), try
# this
#StickyIcons
######################## MWM EMULATION #######################
#
# My feeling is that everyone should use MWMDecorHints and MWMFunctionHints,
# since some applications depend on having the window manager respect them
# MWMFunction hints parses the function information in the MOTIF_WM_HINTS
# property, and prohibits use of these functions on the window. Appropriate
# portions of the window decorations are removed.
#MWMFunctionHints
# MWM is kinda picky about what can be done to transients, and it was keeping
# me from iconifying some windows that I like to iconify, so here's an
# over-ride that will allow me to do the operation, even tough the menu
# item is shaded out.
#MWMHintOverride
# MWMDecor hints parses the decoration information in the MOTIF_WM_HINTS
# property, and removes these decoratons from the window. This does not affect
# the functions that can be performed via the menus.
#MWMDecorHints
Style "*" MWMButtons
######################## MISCELLANEOUS STUFF #######################
# If you don't like the default 150 msec click delay for the complex functions
# change this and uncomment it.
ClickTime 10
# OpaqueMove has a number (N) attached to it (default 5).
# if the window occupies less than N% of the screen,
# then opaque move is used. 0 <= N <= 100
OpaqueMoveSize 5
# flip by whole pages on the edge of the screen.
EdgeScroll 100 100
# A modest delay before flipping pages seems to be nice...
# I thresh in a 50 pixel Move-resistance too, just so people
# can try it out.
EdgeResistance 250 50
######################## WINDOW PLACEMENT #######################
# RandomPlacement prevents user interaction while placing windows:
#RandomPlacement
# SmartPlacement makes new windows pop-up in blank regions of screen
# if possible, or falls back to random or interactive placement.
Style "*" SmartPlacement
# With SmartPlacement, windows will normally place themselves over icons.
# Uncomment this to change that.
#StubbornPlacement
# NoPPosition instructs fvwm to ignore the PPosition field in window
# geometry hints. Emacs annoyingly sets PPosition to (0,0)!
Style "*" NoPPosition
