Hello, all.
I'm running fvwm 2.2.4-2 on Debian 2.2r2 (potato), and there's something
that's been bugging me for a while.
I don't have an .fvwm2rc in my home directory, so fvwm looks at Debian's
/etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc and then reads the various hook files in
~/.fvwm. This generally works OK. The only problem is the FvwmPager---I
don't like some of the options that are set in system.fvwm2rc, like the
font size and the geometry.
I've put the following properties in ~/.fvwm/post.hook:
*FvwmPagerGeometry +894+42
*FvwmPagerFont none
*FvwmPagerSmallFont none
*FvwmPagerDeskTopScale 25
and, as specified in the docs, the following in ~/.fvwm/init-restart.hook:
+ I Wait FvwmPager
+ I KillModule FvwmPager
+ I Module FvwmPager 0 0
However, this usually doesn't take. I haven't been keeping careful
records, but probably 2/3 of the time, when I start fvwm, the pager is
started with the properties as set in system.fvwm2rc, not my overrides.
Usually, restarting fvwm will case my props to stick, but this isn't
consistent---this morning, I had to restart fvwm 5 or 6 times to get the
pager where I want it.
Since this is apparently not deterministic behavior, I suspect that there's
a race condition in there somewhere. Has anyone found a reliable solution
for this?
Thanks,
Richard
