I have written a nice mpd-control for the FvwmButton.
Inside the FvwmScript which shows informations about the actual song is a part which changes the icons for play/pause and the volume-button. This Buttons are above the swallowed script and use mpc to control the mpd.
I have a function defined to change the Icons of the control-Buttons in FvwmButton.
The function is:
DestroyFunc CHANGE_ICON
AddToFunc CHANGE_ICON
+ I SendToModule FvwmShelf ChangeButton $0 Icon $1For testing-purposes i start a virtual Machine and control the mpd running on the host from the guest in the VM.
When i send a Command with mpc to the running mpd from the VM, and the Mouse-Pointe isn’t grabbed in the VM, this function above changes the icon correctly.
But if the VM grabbed the Mouse-Pointer i get an error-message
[fvwm][ComplexFunction]: <<ERROR>>
Grab failed in function CHANGE_ICON mpdVol audio-volume-muted.png, unable to execute immediate action
Should i live with this, or is there a solution for grabbing the focus-policy?
