Icon Box also creates "emacs windows" box I can't delete

I’m sure this is a really basic question, but I’m really new to fvwm, so… :smiley:

My .start-apps-man file contains the line, “AddToFunc StartFunction I IconManGlobal”. When I start fvwm, I get the Icon Box I want, but I also get a second box beside it that has the text, “emacs windows”. I can’t click or right-click on it to get rid of it. Is there anything I can do to prevent this second box from appearing? Thanks in advance to all who respond.

Leslie

Ok. First of all given the line:

AddToFunc StartFunction I IconManGlobal

I can tell you it’s wrong. But probably only a transposing error on your part. Is it that you meant:

AddToFunc StartFunction I Module FvwmIconBox IconManGlobal

Or did you mean:

AddToFunc StartFunction I Module FvwmIconMan IconManGlobal

It’s important that you clarify this – the best way is to host your .fvwm2rc file somewhere, since what you’ve posted won’t allow any one to help you further, I’m afraid.

– Thomas Adam

Actually, what I posted is correct – or, it may not be correct, but it is what I have in my .start-apps-man file. Should I change it to be:AddToFunc StartFunction I Module FvwmIconBox IconManGlobalBy the way, thanks for the quick response!

Leslie

We still need to see your config. That line, as Thomas Adam already said, is not correct, unless IconManGlobal is a custom function, and in that case, we have no idea about what did you put into that function.

We have absolutely no clue about how your actual configuration is.

Even if it is a function which starts up some module, or sets up a module alias, to have it in a function like that, unless you were doing something utterly specific, is still not right – there’s no need to really create a function at all for such an operation. Certainly don’t change the line, but seeing your config is important.

– Thomas Adam

I copied the file /usr/share/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc-sample-95 (I’m running Fedora 7) to ~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc. About all I did to it was clean out a lot of comments. In addition to my .fvwm2rc file, the only other two files in ~/.fvwm are .start-apps-man, which I documented above, and .start-Background, which contains: AddToFunc StartFunction I Exec exec xsetroot -solid Blue2 My .fvwm2rc file contains:

1. Module and Image paths

These paths are colon-separated lists, just like regular unix PATH

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------#

ModulePath is builtin, you may add some directories here

#ModulePath $HOME/mymodules:+

The default image path is:

/usr/include/X11/bitmap:/usr/include/X11/pixmaps

if the fvwm_icons are not installed in one of these directories or if

you want to add a personal image path uncomment and edit the next line

#ImagePath :add_dir_to_fvwm_image_path:+

#K_M 1 for KDE Styles and menus
#ImagePath +:$KDEDIR/share/icons:$KDEDIR/share/apps/kappfinder/pics/:
#G_M_G 1 for FvwmGtk menus
#ImagePath +:/usr/share/pixmaps:

Warning: you may have to replace /usr by gnomeinstallpath in the previous

line. gnomeinstallpath may be /usr/local, /opt/gnome, …

(this section may be the theme part of the config, but you need to use

FvwmTheme to define and propagate the colors)

The MenuStyle command allows almost full control over menu look and feel.

We use the preconfigured ‘Win’ or ‘Fvwm’ default. This resets most other

options and must be set first. We also define a menu called winops for

the windows operations menus and very long one. The menus which use this

style are (and must) be defined in the end of the menus.

3. Set up the major operating modes

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------#

WARNING!

If you use (or ever used) Settings–>Configuration–>Base Config

to configure your major operating modes then all commands in this

section 3 are overridden by the last line of this section (PipeRead).

So, you can comment the last line of this section.

Or, instead, you can remove all the lines of this section but the last one.

If you use Base Config and this section has some application dependent

styles, a suggested solution is to move them to the styles file.

This way Base Config does not destroy your application specific

styles when you use it.

#WIN 1 To have more WIN-like behavior
#Emulate win
#FVWM 1
Emulate fvwm

HideGeometryWindow Never

#FAST 3

#Style * WindowShadeSteps 20
#SLOW 3

Style * ResizeOutline
Style * WindowShadeSteps 0

EdgeScroll 0 0
EdgeResistance 500 0
EdgeThickness 1

The focus policy. Once you are used to clicking inside windows to

raise them you will not want to lose this feature.

Style * SloppyFocus
Style * MouseFocusClickRaises

MinOverlapPlacement places window automatically in a way that attempts to be

place windows ‘intelligent’.

Style * MinOverlapPlacement

NoPPosition instructs FVWM to ignore the PPosition field in window

geometry hints. Emacs annoyingly sets PPosition to (0,0)!

Style * NoPPosition

Style * GrabFocusOff

If you ever used Base Config, then the next line overrides this section

with the settings you defined! In this case you may replace the whole

section 3 by one command “Read .FvwmBaseConfig”.

PipeRead ‘[ ! -f $FVWM_USERDIR/.FvwmBaseConfig ] || echo Read .FvwmBaseConfig’

transient windows

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can do a lot of things with transient windows. However, you may

want to set transient style by application (in styles).

Heres one example:

If you want to decorate transient windows:

#Style * DecorateTransient

In general it is not a good idea to be able to lower transient window

under its main window, but why not…

#Style * DontRaiseTransient

In my HO the defaults (which are “Motif” compliant) are good.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

bogus hack

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FVWM has a command for bogus applications. Here an example with KFM

#KFM_ICONS 1 uncomment the next line if you use the KFM “icons”
BugOpts RaiseOverUnmanaged on

#PANEL_PUT 1 you may try this for a “stays put” gnome panel
#DefaultLayers 6 8 10

#SEG startup
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------#

5. Stuff to do at start-up and on restart

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------#

Defines the background

Read .start-Background

This file defines which applications manager we start: TaskBarGlobal,

TaskBarDesk, IconBoxGlobal, IconBoxDesk, …etc.

Read .start-apps-man

This one decides which big buttons we start BarButtons, Wharf or None

Read .start-FvwmButtons

This one decides if we start the DeskerPanel

Read .start-DeskerPanelButtons

This one decides if we start MiniButtons

Read .start-MiniButtons

This one decides if we start WinMakerAppButtons

Read .start-WinMakerAppButtons

This file decides if we start FvwmAnimate or not

Read .start-FvwmAnimate

This one decides if we start FvwmAuto

Read .start-FvwmAuto

This one decides if we start FvwmBanner

Read .start-FvwmBanner

Sounds effect (FvwmEvent)

Read .start-FvwmEvent

The StartFunction is used at start and restart with or without a Session

Manager. The above file .start-* defines this function. If

we want Gtk menus and dialog (defined in the modules section) we start

FvwmGtk.

AddToFunc StartFunction
#G_M_G 1
#+ I Module FvwmGtk

The InitFunction is used at FVWM start

AddToFunc InitFunction

Load the X Setup Scripts setting if we use it

  • I Exec [ -f $HOME/.xinitrc-fvwm ] && sh $HOME/.xinitrc-fvwm
    #+ I Exec exec xsetroot -solid #7F4B7F

The restart function:

AddToFunc RestartFunction
#+ I Module FvwmButtons MyButtons

When used with a session manager FVWM uses SessionInitFunction and

SessionRestartFunction in the place of InitFunction and RestartFunction

AddToFunc SessionInitFunction

Do not Load the X Setup Scripts setting, some Session Managers have its own

method (e.g., GNOME)

#+ I Exec [ -f $HOME/.xinitrc-fvwm ] && sh $HOME/.xinitrc-fvwm
#+ I Module FvwmButtons MyButtons

AddToFunc SessionRestartFunction
#+ I Module FvwmButtons MyButtons

#SEG styles
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------#

6. Set application dependent styles

Order is important!

If compatible styles are set for a single window in multiple Style

commands, then the styles are ORed together. If conflicting styles

are set, the last one specified is used.

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------#

Style *lock NoTitle, NoHandles, Sticky, WindowListSkip
Style xeyes NoTitle, Sticky
Style biff NoTitle, Sticky, WindowListSkip
Style xsysinfo NoTitle, Sticky, WindowListSkip
Style xload NoTitle, Sticky, WindowListSkip

Style Postit NoHandles, WindowListSkip

gnome panel & icons

Style panel Sticky, NoTitle, WindowListSkip, CirculateSkip
Style desktop_icon CirculateSkip, WindowListSkip, NoTitle

Animation is broken in gnome panel 1.4 with GNOMEUseHints.

GNOMEIgnoreHints also disables panel moving itself from layer to layer.

This one moves and then raises the window if you drag the mouse,

only raises the window if you click, or does a vertical maximize if

you double click (full screen maximize would be ‘Maximize 100 100’)

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DestroyFunc Move-or-Raise
AddToFunc Move-or-Raise M Move

This one moves and then lowers the window if you drag the mouse,

only lowers the window if you click, or does a RaiseLower if you double

click

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DestroyFunc Move-or-Lower
AddToFunc Move-or-Lower M Move

  •                   M Lower

  •   	  C Raise
    
  •                     D Iconify
    

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one maximizes vertically if you click (leaving room for the taskbar

at the bottom, or does a full maximization if you double click, or a

true full vertical maximization if you just hold the mouse button down.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DestroyFunc Maximize-Func
AddToFunc Maximize-Func M Maximize 0 98

  •   	C	Maximize 0 100
    
  •   	D	Maximize 100 98
    

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one resizes and then raises the window if you drag the mouse,

only raises the window if you click, or does shade if you double

click

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DestroyFunc Resize-or-Raise-or-Shade
AddToFunc Resize-or-Raise-or-Shade M Resize

  •                     M Raise
    
  •                     C Raise
    
  •                     D WindowShade
    

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one focuses and then ‘warps’ to the window.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DestroyFunc FocusAndWarp
AddToFunc FocusAndWarp I Focus

  •                  I WarpToWindow 1 1
    

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like the previous one, but de-iconifies first.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DestroyFunc DeiconifyFocusAndWarp
AddToFunc DeiconifyFocusAndWarp I Iconify off

  •                           I FocusAndWarp

This one is used to modify some style for a window (almost obsolet)

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DestroyFunc StyleAndRecapture
AddToFunc StyleAndRecapture I Style “$0” $1

  • I All (“$0”) RecaptureWindow

#SEG bindings

9. Mouse, frame buttons and keyboard bindings

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------#

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, for the mouse in the root window (Context=R)

Button 1 gives the Utilities menu

Button 2 gives the Window Ops menu

Button 3 gives the WindowList (like TwmWindows)

I use the AnyModifier (A) option for the modifier field, so you can hold down

any Shift-Ctrl-whatever combination you want!

Moreover on a window the same bindings are defined with the Alt modifier

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Button Context Modifi Function

Mouse 1 R A Menu Utilities mouse -1p -1p
Mouse 2 R A Menu Window mouse -1p -1p
Mouse 3 R A WindowList mouse -1p -1p
Mouse 3 R C WindowList mouse -1p -1p OnlyListSkip

Mouse 1 W M Menu Utilities mouse -1p -1p
Mouse 2 W M Menu Window mouse -1p -1p
Mouse 3 W M WindowList mouse -1p -1p
Mouse 3 W CM WindowList mouse -1p -1p OnlyListSkip

#G_SESSION 3 bind Shift Mouse * to gnomebutton
#Mouse 1 R S GnomeButton
#Mouse 2 R S GnomeButton
#Mouse 3 R S GnomeButton

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the rest of the frame

Here I invoke my complex functions for Move-or-lower, Move-or-Raise-Shade,

and Resize-or-Raise.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Button 1 in the corners or sides, with any modifiers, gives resize or raise

Mouse 1 FS A Function “Resize-or-Raise-or-Shade”

Button 1 in the title, sides, w/ any modifiers, gives move or raise or shade

Mouse 1 T A Function “Move-or-Raise-or-Shade”
Mouse 1 FS C Function “Move-or-Raise-or-Shade”

Button 1 in an icons gives move for a drag, de-iconify for a double-click,

raiselower for a single click

Mouse 1 I A Function “Move-or-Iconify-or-Raise”

Alt Button 1 on an icons raise all icons

Mouse 1 I M All (CurrentPage Iconic) Raise

Button 2 in an icon, w/ any modifiers, gives de-iconify

Mouse 2 I A Iconify

Button 2 in the corners, sides, or title-bar gives the window ops menu

Mouse 2 FST A Menu Window-Ops2

Button 3 anywhere in the decoration (except the title-bar buttons)

does a raise-lower

Mouse 3 TSF A RaiseLower

Button 3 on a icon:

Mouse 3 I A Menu Window-Ops3 c+0 -101m

Button 3 in the window, with the Modifier-1 key (usually alt or diamond)

gives Raise-Lower. Used to use control here, but that interferes with xterm

Mouse 3 W SM RaiseLower

Stroke Bindings

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You need fvwm compiled with stroke support and libstroke installed

See the Stroke and StrokeFunc entries in the fvwm man page

We use mostly simple stroke motion. For complex stroke motions we need

to consider many sloppy stroke motions for each action.

– Sample-95 MINI-FAQ –

* Why doesn’t this FAQ contain my question?

* What are the default bindings?

* Some (mini-)icons are missing in menus and in some buttons!

* Does Sample-95 support themes?

* Can I use Sample-95 with GNOME?

* How can I load saved settings before starting FVWM?

* Can I use WindowMaker and AfterStep applets with FVWM?

* Who wrote this configuration file?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Why doesn’t this FAQ contain my question?

Maybe because the answer is in the beginning of the configuration file

(i.e., this file!), in the FVWM FAQ or in the FVWM man pages.

----------------------------------------

* What are the default bindings?

Mouse bindings:

--------------

Mouse 1 on the root window: main menu

Mouse 2 on the root window: window operations menu

Mouse 3 on the root window: Window List of all normal applications

Ctrl-Mouse 3 on the root window: Window List of all skipped applications

Alt-Mouse x inside a window: as Mouse x on the root window

Shift-Alt-Mouse 3 inside a window: Raise or Lower

If you have built the config for gnome-session:

Shift-Mouse x on the root window gives the corresponding “GNOME button”

Mouse 1 on the title: Raise, Move for a drag, shade for a double click

Mouse 1 on the borders: Raise, Resize for a drag, shade for a double click

Mouse 1 on an icon: Move, Raise on one click, deiconify for a double

Alt-Mouse 1 on an icon; Raise all the icons

Ctrl-Mouse 1 on the borders: As mouse 1 on the title

Mouse 2 on the title or the borders: window operations menu

Mouse 2 on an icon: deiconify

Mouse 3 on the title/borders: Raise or Lower

Mouse 3 on an icon: The “modules/icons” window operations menu

Window Buttons:

--------------

- Left button:

Mouse 1: Window operation menu, double click: close

Mouse 2: Group operations menu

Mouse 3: Quick Move window menu

- Close button (right button)

Mouse 1: Close

Mouse 2: Close all the windows with the same class

Mouse 3: Destroy

- Maximize button (2nd right button)

Mouse 1: Full Maximize

Mouse 2: Maximize Horizontally

Mouse 3: Maximize Vertically

- Iconify button (3rd right button)

Mouse 1: Iconify

Mouse 2: Iconify all the windows with the same class

Mouse 3: Shade all the windows with the same class

Key bindings (anywhere):

------------

Shift-Left/Right/Up/Down: scroll Left/Right/Up/Down by 1 page

Alt-Left/Right/Up/Down: scroll Left/Right/Up/Down by 1/10 page

Shift-Ctrl-Left/Right/Up/Down: move the pointer by 1O% of a page

Alt-Ctrl-Left/Right/Up/Down: move the pointer by 1% of a page

Alt-Ctrl-PageUp/PageDown: scroll by one desktop page

Shift-Alt-F1: Main menu

Shift-Alt-F2: Window operations menu

Shift-Alt-F3: WindowList

Shift-Alt-F4: Close

Shift-Alt-F5: RaiseLower

Shift-Alt-F6: Raise all Icons

Shift-Alt-F7: Move

Shift-Alt-F8: Resize

Shift-Alt-F9: Iconify

Shift-Alt-F10: Maximize

Shift-Alt-F11: Identify

Shift-Alt-F12: Console

Alt-Tab released at once: previous (normal) window

Alt-Tab: WindowList of all normal windows and warp to the selected window

when released

Ctrl-Alt-Tab: WindowList of all skipped windows

Stroke bindings:

---------------

You need to have FVWM compiled with stroke support (these bindings

are defined only in this case) and libstroke installed.

Mouse button 3 is used (this button must be pressed during the stroke),

no modifiers are needed when you start your mouse motion on the root

window and you must use the Alt modifier if you start your mouse motion

on a window (you cannot start your motion on a window title bar or frame).

The mouses motion:

A | from the top to the bottom: your preferred terminal

A | from the bottom to the top: your prefered editor

A / from the bottom to the top: your prefered file manager

A C from the top: xcalc

A N (from the bottom): netscape

A clockwise box from the top left: FvwmForm-QuitVerify

Add more yourself!

----------------------------------------

* Some (mini-)icons are missing in menus and in buttons!

If you have no mini(-icons) then either your ImagePath does not contain

the directory of the fvwm_icons or you are using a RedHat/Mandrake/… rpm

version of fvwm-icons which uses mini- in the place of mini. for

mini-icons name. If only some mini(-icons) are missing, then you are using

a too old version of fvwm_icons.

----------------------------------------

* Does Sample-95 support themes?

No. But, it is possible to hack the configuration to have an “elementary”

themes engine. The basic idea is to use FvwmTheme to propagate the colors

and to replace “Read decorations” by “Read theme” in .fvwm2rc where theme

is a symbolic link to a theme. A theme will be a file which look like

decorations plus the FvwmTheme configuration commands. Other technical

functions are needed as a function for switching between themes. This is

left to your own pleasure! Doing elaborated FVWM configurations is one of

the better games under UNIX.

If you want a powerful themes engine do not use Sample-95, it is not the

aim of this configuration. There are a powerful themes engine which is

under fast development: fvwm-themes (http://fvwm-themes.sourceforge.net/).

----------------------------------------

* Can I use Sample-95 with GNOME?

Yes. You “need” FVWM compiled with GNOME support and it is preferable to

run FVWM under gnome-session. Also, do not forget that you have to set

FVWM_USERDIR, so start the gnome-session as

env FVWM_USERDIR=“your FVWM_USERDIR” gnome-session

Of course, it is preferable to set the “build a file for gnome-session”

option of the Setup95 script. You may use the option “Try a Stays Put panel”

to put the panel in the same layer than the normal windows, but you may

have to leave GNOME/FVWM and start again X to avoid problems.

Note that under session, Sample-95 does not load your “X settings” by

default (GNOME has its own method). Moreover, read the next question for

using a different setting when you use GNOME (you may also use the

Session(Init/Restart)Function functionality, see the startup file).

One thing that you can add to your configuration file is:

GnomeShowDesk x

where x is the number of desks you want to see in the GNOME pager at

start (if not the GNOME pager is dynamic).

Also, for leaving GNOME you must use GNOME or you must “QuitSession” for

just exiting or “Exec exec save-session --kill” for saving and exiting.

----------------------------------------

* How can I load saved settings before starting FVWM?

Say, you want to use setting 1 under a normal FVWM session, setting 2

under a gnome-session and setting 3 under a normal FVWM session but the

shell test FOO is true. Then, your .xinitrc/.xsession file can look

as follows (where $1 is the “first” argument given by startx, or by kdm or

gdm …).

case $1 in

fvwm)

F=“your FVWM_USERDIR”

if FOO; Then $X=“3”; else $X=1; fi;

for i in $F/.FvwmAnimate $F/.FvwmForm $F/.fvwm-layers \

~/.xinitrc-fvwm $F/.FvwmBaseConfig \ $F/.start-Background \

$F/.start-apps-man $F/.start-FvwmButtons $F/.start-DeskerPanelButtons \

$F/.start-MiniButtons $F/.start-WinMakerAppButtons \

$F/.start-FvwmAnimate $F/.start-FvwmAuto $F/.start-FvwmBanner \

$F/.start-FvwmEvent; \

do /bin/cp $i-$X $i;

done;

fvwm

;;

gnome)

F=“your FVWM_USERDIR”

for i in $F/.FvwmAnimate $F/.FvwmForm $F/.fvwm-layers \

----------------------------------------

* Can I use WindowMaker and AfterStep applets with FVWM?

Yes most WM and AS applets are FVWM compliant. Moreover, sample-95 provides

a FvwmButtons for you called WinMakerAppButtons. Of course, you have to

edit the configuration of this buttons to put your preferred applets. Note

that you have an applets panel under the 3 first applets. These panels are

special: Mouse 1 (on the background of the applet) start the panel (or only

map it if it is already started) if it is not out. If the panel is out,

Mouse 1 unmaps it (but the panel applets are alive). The special thing is

that Mouse 3 kills the panel: this can save your cpu.

----------------------------------------

* Who wrote this configuration file?

The starting point is “the” fvwm95 configuration file. Then, Dominik

did some work on it and in particular so that it worked fine with

fvwm-2.3.x. Later, olicha spent a lot of time with it, wrote the Setup95

Script and rewrote all the “Settings” stuff. Some ideas came from

fvwm-themes (thanks to the fvww-themes workers, and in particular migo).

Probably, some others fvwm-workers have added improvement but did not take

the time to update this answer.

[/code]

So that’s the function that gets called. Pointless. It does nothing other than mess things up. Get rid of it.

The reason why you’re seeing both the FvwmIconMan (that’s the correct name for it – not IconBox which is something else entirely different) for the one you want and the Emacs windows is because further down in your config you have an entire bunch of lines which start like this:

*fvwmiconman: ....
*fvwmiconman: ....

Now, the way FVWM parses this is that it will read all those lines in exactly as specified. Then StartFunction gets called once all the lines have been read in, which in your case actually starts FvwmIconMan. That’s OK, but the use of an extra function to do that is useless. So, first step: Sort out StartFunction such that you just have this:

DestroyFunc StartFunction
AddToFunc   StartFunction
+ I Module FvwmIconMan

That’s it. The style line can be put with the other list of Style lines, and the *FvwmIconBox line can be removed entirely. Now to your FvwmIconMan config.

*FvwmIconMan: nummanagers 2

There’s your culprit – that says that FvwmIconMan will be tracking two instances of itself – those managers (separate instances of FvwmIconMan essentially) are delimited by referring to them as ‘1’ or ‘2’. So you want to trim it down such that you have:

#global, desk, or page
*FvwmIconMan: Resolution global
*FvwmIconMan: background  #c0c0c0
*FvwmIconMan: foreground Black
*FvwmIconMan: plainbutton up Black #c0c0c0
*FvwmIconMan: selectbutton down  Black #c0c0c0
*FvwmIconMan: focusbutton up white SlateBlue

*FvwmIconMan: action    Key    d A sendcommand IconManDesk
# animation
*FvwmIconMan: NoIconAction "SendToModule FvwmAnimate animate"

And as one last aside – don’t base your FVWM config on the FVWM-95 one – it’s old, uses old syntax and old options some of which have been renamed or obsoleted.

Perfect! It now works just as it should. Thank you very much!

That sounds like excellent advice. If I can ask one more favor, do you know of a better example “bare-bones” .fvwm2rc file that I could use and experiment with?

Again, thank you for your time and assistance!

Just look on these forums under the Screenshots and Config settings…

Besides looking there there are some specific configs I would recommend because I know they are very well documented.
[list]
[]Taviso’s config[/:m]
[]Thomas Adam’s config, of which a newer version apparntly is locate here for now.[/:m][/list:u]
There are also some guides and HOWTOs that might be very interesting to read and that I try to keep track of here it might also be a good idea to visit the wiki currently located here until the domain trouble gets sorted out.
