That would be confusing since Left and Right are synonyms for West and East. I'd prefer to parse the direction as usual and complain if the secondary direction is not orthogonal to the primary. And it is consistent with the semantics of the IconBox style. > Ok, done.

Cause I didn't > do that. When the distance is != 0 it is obvious what to do. But when a window with distance is found, the distance in the secondary direction is used. In other words, with "North West", the closest window to the right of the current one is take. Bye Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
