Hi,
when I switched to Fvwm 2.4.0, I found that some dialog windows lack a
title bar. Well, a 'Style * DecorateTransient' in my .fvwm2rc cured that,
but the buttons of those windows are still problematic.
First I should describe the setup of my window buttons:
On the left side I have 1 button for the window menu.
On the right side there are 3 buttons: minimize, maximize and close, in
left to right order.
Transient windows have only one button on the right side. In principle
this is fine, but it seems to be the minimize button (i.e. the leftmost of
the right-side buttons). When I push it, the application usually behaves
quite oddly: the dialog disappears, but the program thinks it is still
there, but the dialog doesn't have a window list entry on its own.
Sometimes I can recover by minimizing and unminimizing the whole program.
You see that this button is rather useless on those dialogs. Therefore
I would prefer the close button in these dialogs instead. Formerly I used
Fvwm95 (hence the button layout), and there it worked this way.
By the way, most of the dialogs, that behave like that, are produced by
the Qt toolkit.
So, what controls which button is displayed in transient windows? Is there
a way to change it?
Thanks in Advance!
