I've been using fvwm 2.0.46 for several months and have 2 nits:
First, it seems to not be possible for focus to be set on an iconified
window. In twm, it is possible to send keystrokes to a window through
its Icon Manager button, whether the window is iconified or not, but
not in fvwm. I talked to the FvwmIconMan author about this, he seemed
to believe the problem is in fvwm proper. I tried to play around in
gdb, but only managed to wedge myself trying to debug fvwm while it
was managing my session. Is there some sane way to do this without
locking things up? My XEmacs gdb window lost focus while fvwm was
stopped and I was completely hosed.
I was looking at the lines
> if((Fw)&&(Fw->flags & ICONIFIED)&&(Fw->icon_w))
> w= Fw->icon_w;
from fvwm/focus.c, thinking this might be the problem, but Fw->icon_w
seems to be NULL when IconMan is managing the window.
Second, I have keystrokes bound to switch between desks. When I
switch desks and the mouse lands in a non-sticky window, that window
gets focus. However, if it lands in a sticky window, the window does
not get focus (no window gets focus). Is this a known bug?
Sorry if these have been answered previously. I tried to look through
the archives on your web pages, but they are miserably slow from here.
Any help with these issues would be greatly appreciated. Let me know
if you need additional information. And keep up the great work!
