There are a few issues with swallowing the tray you'll have to look into if you go this route. jaimos I had some issues with stalonetray some month ago, we've already discussed this here. Thanks to Thomas Adam I ended up with the following lines for stalonetray: *MyFvwmButtons: (28x5, Swallow (UseOld,Close,Kill) `stalonetray` \ `Exec exec /usr/bin/stalonetray --geometry 6x1 --no-shrink \ --kludges force_icons_size -i 24 -bg black -d none -f 3`) Note that this works for me on Slackware and Arch.

FVWM: Selecting a window by name from the keyboard?
What I would like to be able to do is select a window from the keyboard in a way very similar to searching for text in a browser: hit a key combination, start typing the name of a window (maybe with some sort of tab completion), and then when enough of the name has been typed, hit return to deiconify and focus on the window. I can see how to do this with some external tools that I have lying around[*], but I was wondering if there's already some obvious and straightforward way to do this in fvwm that I should be using instead. Thanks in advance (and my apologies if this is a common question). (For my purposes I don't care which window is picked if the name is not unique. If there are four windows named 'local', either any one of them will do or it's my fault.) - cks [*: dmenu, http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/, will let you autocomplete text selections from a big list that you feed to it on standard input and dump the result to standard output. So I'm planning to wrap it in a script that feeds it a list of window names obtained from somewhere, then use, eg, FvwmCommand to tell fvwm to Focus whatever is the selected window name.]

FVWM: get dropbox status
Hi, After a few years away from fvwm I am glad to say I am back. I forgot how wonderful this window manager is! Nice and quick, and easy to customize (at least to me). I am using dropbox and would like to know how to check the status of the synchronization (downloading, uploading, idle). Usually there is an icon in the taskbar of other WM/DE. Is there a command I can run or a way to get the icon in the button bar? I am running Arch Linux with kernel 3.1.3-1. The dropbox daemon is running in the background (dropboxd). Thanks in advance for the help. Vince

It needs cleaning up a lot, which no one has yet done due to the fact that it's not as simple to do as the patch currently implements its functionality. -- Thomas Adam

It would be a very nice feature ^^ Regards, Thomas -- What is the exact difference between a 'terminal', a 'shell', a 'tty' and a 'console'? A terminal is at the end of an electric wire, a shell is the home of a turtle, tty is a strange abbreviation and a console is a kind of cabinet. -- Gilles ___ SMS schreiben mit WEB.DE FreeMail - einfach, schnell und kostenguenstig.
