Yeah that would be good. I always like to see how other people have configured 
their window manager as well, it always amazes me to see how versatile it is 
and some people achieve really fantastic results.

 Is there a complete list of deprecated(ing) or dead modules?
 I don't want to play with a dead module, with issues
 unsolvable.

Not as such, but in my mind:

* FvwmSave
* FvwmSaveDesk
* FvwmDragWell
* FvwmTaskBar (it's only FvwmButtons and FvwmIconMan)
* FvwmWinList (it's FvwmIconMan with tweaks?)
* FvwmIconBox
* FvwmGtk

None of these are likely to affect you anyway.

Since you make no guarantee of the number of Emacs windows, a blind approach
to this is:

Key F3 A A All (WindowsWhichAreEmacsClassName) WindowShade
Key F3 A C All (WindowsWhichAreEmacsClassName) Iconify

Which means you can reduce this to something like:

Key F3 A A SomeFunc WindowShade
Key F3 A C SomeFunc Iconify

DestroyFunc SomeFunc
AddToFunc   SomeFunc
+ I All (WindowsWhichAreEmacsClassName) $0

And before you ask, you could make this a window-specific binding:

Key (NameOfEmacsClass) F3 A A SomeFunc WindowShade
Key (NameOfEmacsClass) F3 A C SomeFunc Iconify

But I don't know if this is going to work well with Emacs, or if it's what
you want.  Because Emacs would have to understand synthetic events, which I
am not sure it does, or can be told to do so.  YMMV.

Re: FVWM: Task Bar Disappearing

2011-05-15 Thread elliot s
Well, i got the FvwmIconMan/FvwmButtons pair looking like my fvwmtaskbar.
Two differences:
fvwmtaskbar had a shared mail checker/date display.
I dont know of an easy way to get both, so now it's just an xclock display.
fvwmtaskbar colorset colors show up lighter than the same colorset in
FvwmIconMan or elsewhere..

Remove links to DEB/RPM from download page.

These haven't been updated in years, and are pointless having, given
downstream maintainers do this for us, not to mention the burden on the
person releasing updates of FVWM which would presumably have to have systems
in place to *build* both .deb and .rpm versions of FVWM.

Just let downstream do this for us -- it's much better supported that way.




CVS tadam fvwm-web: Deprecate 2.4.X; mention OpenBSD for using an antiquated FVWM version

Now that 2.6.X has been out long enough in my opinion for most packagers to
upgrade, 2.4.X is dead.  Mention this on the download web page.




FVWM 2.4.X is no more.

2011-05-15 Thread Thomas Adam
Hi all,

[ This is mostly for the benefit of package maintainers, so if you know of
such people who've not yet had chance to upgrade to 2.6.1, forward this on
to them. ]

Just a quick note to say that officially upstream at fvwm.org, we no longer
support versions of FVWM prior to 2.6.X -- this means anyone using 2.4.X
will have to upgrade.

I'm happy to always support migration problems from 2.4.X - 2.6.X should
they crop up.

Kindly,

-- Thomas Adam
