gaim guifications

Configuration General Questions
1

Hey all,

I have gaim 1.4.0-r2, guifications 2.10, and fv 2.5.12.

I’m having a problem with Fv switching to the desktop/page that the im window resides whenever a notification posts. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks~

I want to know how to make the guification ignore the working area, I tried:

Style gaim* StartsOnPage 2 2, EWMHIgnoreStrutHints, \ EWMHPlacementIgnoreWorkingArea, \ EWMHPlacementIgnoreWorkingArea, \ EWMHMaximizeIgnoreWorkingArea, \ EWMHPlacementUseDynamicWorkingArea

but nothing happens with the notification area, I have:

EwmhBaseStruts 0 200 17 65

I got from xwininfo :

Style gaim*             StartsOnPage 2 2, SkipMapping

Should do the trick I suppose :slight_smile:

so in talking to theBlackDragon in irc…we got down to the bottom of the issue.

Turns out I had the ‘Message Notification’ plugin enabled. God knows what I thought that was or what it did…but it was the culprit.

The dragon’s suggestion for SkipMapping and startsOnDesk/Page will also come in handy with gaim…but that’s a different issue.

I don’t know if that helped you Danes…
