Hello All. I got a question about "EWMH Window Type Dialog" windows. As far as I understand, these are supposed to be modal (transient) windows.
Does FVWM look at this hint and treat these windows in some special way? And anyway, how do I create a complex function that only matches windows with this EWMH hint and performs an action on them, such as makes the decor transient? (I already have a custom function for that which among other things makes windows non-maximizable and non-iconifiable.) I'm no programmer, so I'm having difficulties envisioning how this function should work in general. I realize it will probably rely on PipeRead, right? So far all I could come up with is creating a variable e.g. WINDOW_TYPE and testing if a window has the "EWMH Window Type Dialog" hint: `xprop -id $[w.id] | grep DIALOG | cut -c49-90` (I'm writing from memory, so the numbers in the argument of "cut" are not necessarily true, but the variable will return DIALOG if a window has the hint I'm interested in.) However, I'm stuck at this point. Is using xprop the way to go, or is there an easier way? If it's OK, how do I integrate this xprop stuff into a complex function? Any pointers, including man references, links and working code snippets are very appreciated. Thanks. -- WBR, Andrei Popov Using FVWM 2.5.16 on Debian GNU/Linux
