Is it an alias? Thanks.
The quoted line is a bit hacky although it works. FvwmAuto does not currently support aliases. However, fvwm tries to support them in the dumb mode, i.e. anything that looks like an alias is considered one. So, in this case, FvwmAuto simply considers any incorrect string like "FvwmAutohide" as the timeout 0. But the side effect is that you may kill this FvwmAuto module without affecting other FvwmAuto invocations using: KillModule FvwmAuto FvwmAutohide The correct line would be of course: FvwmAuto 0 -menter enter_handler or (when/if FvwmAuto starts to support aliases): FvwmAuto FvwmAutohide 0 -menter enter_handler I think one of these 2 solutions should be applied to this FAQ entry so we don't receive such questions anymore.
