No, that can't be true. In X, "withdrawn" means "not visible at all". A withdrawn window can't be seen anywhere, not as a window, not as an icon, not swallowed in a dock, nowhere. That is the whole point of windows being withdrawn. The only thing I could imagine is that the dock application maps these windows. In this case, another option might be useful: --in-window, --in-icon and without any of these options, don't map the application at all. However, mapping the window with the StateHint set to 'WithdrawnState' is still incorrect and leads to undefined behaviour. > If I am going to provide an option, it's going to be "windowed" > or "withdrawn", not "windowed" or "iconified" because well, uhm, say, > blackbox won't even display iconified windows. Well, it's almost no effort to let it run in an icon because the code without my patch does exactly this. It provides an IconWindowHint and afterwards draws into the icon window. I guess the dock maps the icon window itself - which would be a blatant violation of everything that X and the ICCCM2 demand :-P If this is the case, I suggest to simply keep the map/unmap handling I wrote, set the StateHint to withdrawn/noram/iconic, whichever the user demands. > * thanks for the size hints stuff, that will be useful. > * thanks for the window group info > * thanks for delete window / user position /etc > > The biggest reason that stuff was under #ifdef originally (until stupid > debian zealots said that nobody compiles shit anymore), is performance > reasons.

Whenever the application gets a MapNotify on its main window, the main window itself is visible, whenever it gets an UnmapNotify the application has become iconified (which does not necessarily mean that the icon window is actually visible). The patch already takes care of this. Bye Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
