Hello all,
I made a hack to fvwm 2.0.46 which undoes the icon 'auto-compact'
feature - that is, an application's icon position is reserved for the
applications lifetime, rather than all the icons compacting down the
icon box. This is much like olvwm - I much prefer being able to
associate windows with their icon positions, and not have the wm
rearrange them when I'm not looking :-)
This kind of breaks with non-sticky icons when you un-iconise a window
into a different page and then iconise again, but works a treat with
stick icons.
Anyhow, the reason for this post:
1) is there a way to do this without hacking the source?
2) this hack essentially turns on the ICON_MOVED bit of the window's
flags in icons.c:AutoPlace(), and removes the test for iconification
when figuring out where to layout icons (i.e. all windows which have
been iconised at some point are considered in the layout algorithm). Is
there a better way in 2.2.2?
3) is there any interest in making this a rc configuration? Any
suggestions for a name?
Regards,
Ben Low
