I have some problems with FvwmButtons.
There i have two Buttons which swallow an application. xload and xosview. And a third button with the xeyes.
A click on the xeyes schould open a bigger pager (transient) and clicks to xload and xosview should open bigger windwos with this programs.
This worked since some weeks ago. I had the original debian-fvwm package installed. (2.5.25)
But in this package is a bug with fullscreen applications like flash-videos and slideshows from ooImpress, so i compiled my own fvwm from a dayly snapshot one month ago.
And i think the clicks on the buttons worked like before. They opened the applications.
But then it only worked sometimes, and now, it doesnt work any longer. A click on the xeyes do not open the pager. A click between the xeyes opens the pager.
I found in the documentation “ActionIgnoresClientWindow” which should bring back the “old” functionality which i’ve described, because fvwm > 2.3 (or so???) will have the functionality like i want.
swallow xosview -> a click on the button opens a new window…
the old is: swallow xosview -> a click on the FRAME of this button opens a new window.
is this a bug in the current version of fvwm, or do i make some misstakes?
here are the three lines fo my fvwm2rc:
*FvwmButtons: (1x1 Frame 0 , Swallow xeyes "Exec exec xeyes&", Action "FvwmPager -transient 0 3 " )
*FvwmButtons (Action "Exec xload", 1x1 Frame 0 Swallow "xload" 'Exec xload -bg grey75 -geometry -200+0 -label jakob& ')
*FvwmButtons (Action "Exec xosview +battery +net", ActionOnPress , 2x1 Frame 0 Swallow (Respawn) xosview "Exec /usr/bin/xosview -usedlabels -swap -load -page +net -network 1000000 -int -xrm 'xosview*background:grey75' -xrm 'xosview*foreground:black' -geometry -200+0 -captions +battery &")
