Hi,
one little question,
I`m trying out some qt4-depending programs (like smplayer or at least kde4) under the latest fvwm.
Here all qt4-apps are placed at the top left corner.
They ignore styles like PositionPlacement Center.
Is there a way to get them in center Position (without swallowing in FvwmButtons)?
Thx & greetings
Enable:
BugOpts ExplainWindowPlacementThen give me the output.

Hi thomasadams,
thx for the fast reply!
That`s what “BugOpts ExplainWindowPlacement” tells me about Konqueror or Dolphin (Kde-4.1.0 & QT-4.4.1):

OK – this looks interesting. Can I see your fvwm2rc please?
Which version of dolphin do you have? Do any other Qt4 apps have this problem?
– Thomas Adam
Ill upload my config tomorrow, have to clean up a little bit (its no fvwm2rc, it`s splitted in different files).
Dolphin
Version 1.1
Unter KDE 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0)
All my apps from KDE-4.1.0, smplayer-0.6.1 and KeePassX-0.3.2 have this problem. I do not use more qt4-apps.
Qt-4.4.1 and KDE-4.1.0 are compiled on my LFS here from clean sources without any patches.
Thx,
Thomas
@ thomasadams,
you can download my config from here.
I`ve cleand up the config a little bit, removed all pixmaps and wallpaper to make it smaller.
And please remember, the config is under permanent cunstruction 
Maybe there are absurd mistakes 
Thank you or helping,
Thomas
Thanks. I’ll let you know if I get anything. Currently looking at the source now.
– Thomas Adam
Thomas,
There’s been a commit to CVS version of FVWM today which might correct this – can you checkout that CVS version and test it for me?
– Thomas Adam
Hi,
no problem, I`ll try out the latest checkout tomorrow after work, is this early enough?
Thank you,
Thomas
I’m in no rush – the timescale is with you based on when I can reply.

Have a nice weekend,

Edit:
What I try today is an Update from kde-4.1.0 to the latest unstable-snapshot.
Just to take a look if there is something fixed, in KDE-4.1.0 there are some interesting features but I think it`s really not so “stable enough for everyone” how the KDE-Team tells … but this is a story for KDE and not for this forum.
… I`m so *****
The only little problem was an duplicate Style in my config … .
O.K. ,
thomasadam (and all other), sorry for this posting here, everything is working perfect now.
I just tried out the fvwm95-config and could see that there is no problem. So it was clear that something is wrong in my config.
@ thomasadam: QT4-apps are working well with fvwm-2.5.26, nothing to change.
