All I want is that Gambas doesn't manage at all the window placement, and let the wm do its job. Fvwm doesn't have 3D effects and such, but it just do a wonderful job at managing things like windows placement or focus policies, and I just want that Gambas let fvwm do its job. For that, all that is needed is that Gambas doesn't manage the placement at all if I don't want it. http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#idp6374024 Quote: Rationale: Window managers can often perform better placement (that may be even configurable) for windows than the application. However at the time of writing this it is problematic for Window managers to decide when to use them because many applications abuse positioning flags and/or provide unnecessary default positions. EndQuote As I think many Gambas applications force the windows placement, my Gambas* fvwm style will stay for ever in my fvwm configuration. But it doesn't work when launching a program with F5 from the IDE. It would be great to have an option to disable this placement policy at least in the IDE.
