FvwmIconMan problems on a Dual-Screen-Setup

Configuration General Questions
1

Hello,

I tried to have an Iconman swallowed into a button across my to monitors(Nvidia TwinView), but it’s not working as I would expect it.

A little screenshot: http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/3065/iconmanih8.png
As you can see, the Iconman sits in the middle of the two screens, althoug the button itself goes over the complete 2560px.

The code looks like this:

I’d guess, that it’s an obvious fault, but I just don’t see it.

Set the ButtonGeometry then properly to be for the full $[vp.width], although you haven’t actually asked a question – was this just some random myopic observation of yours?

Oh, and don’t use the alias ‘FvwmTaskBar’ to refer to something which isn’t FvwmTaskBar – it’s an actual module, and convention as I would like it means you shouldn’t use module alias names that already have modules by that name. Not to mention if you were to then try and load ‘FvwmTaskBar’ it would get that module alias (meant for FvwmButtons) and not have a clue what you meant.
