Dear All,
As soon as I got home from school, I booted into fvwm2
and made the following changes (kindly supplied by
Dominik Vogt), thus:
*FvwmEvent icon_name Function DeiconifyXconsole
*FvwmEventPassID
AddToFunc DeiconifyXconsole
+ "I" WindowId $0 (xconsole\*) iconify off
Then, I put the above into the correct .m4 files (as
suggested by Thomas A Gardiner). I then rebooted
fvwm2, and piped a message to /dev/console. The
asterisk did appear by the icon (and consequently my
piped message), but alas the xconsole window did not
popup so that I could view what was being displayed!!
I then realised that I should of changed icon_name to
the icon name of "xconsole" and I did. However, even
after this reboot...xconsole would not deiconify, so
that I could see what I had piped to it.
So, I then remembered that fvwm2 produces a error file
in my home directory (/root/.FVWM2-errors) I loaded
this and found that the following error had been
logged to it:
FvwmEvent Version 2.2.2 should only be executed by
fvwm!
Does this bear any relation to the problem??
Secondly (and I forgot to mention this yesterday) if I
do get this FvwmEvent working, is there a way of then
telling xconsole to deiconify to a specific area on my
screen??
Your help is again, much appreciated!!
Kind Regards,
Thomas Adam
