.SH NAME
|
|
FvwmSaveDesk \- another FVWM desktop-layout saving module
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
FvwmSaveDesk is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
When called, this module will attempt to save your current desktop
|
|
layout as a definition of extra lines for the function InitFunction
|
|
into the file
|
|
.I .fvwm2desk
|
|
in your home directory. As explain in the other documation, this
|
|
function is called at startup of fvwm2.
|
|
You have to include this file in
|
|
.I .fvwmrc
|
|
after the definition of the Function Initfunction.
|
|
You can do this by using the module
|
|
.I FvwmM4
|
|
or
|
|
.I FvwmCpp.
|
|
|
|
Your applications must supply certain hints to the X window system.
|
|
.I Emacs
|
|
and
|
|
.I Netscape
|
|
, for example, does not, so FvwmSaveDesk can't get any
|
|
information from it.
|
|
|
|
Also, FvwmSaveDesk assumes that certain command line options are
|
|
globally accepted by applications, which may not be the case.
|
|
|
|
.SH SETUP USING FVWMM4 MODULE
|
|
The M4 Macro processor substitutes its macros even in the middle of a
|
|
word. Because of that you may have problems with predefined macros
|
|
such as include or define. To avoid this the GNU M4 has an extra
|
|
option to prefix all builtins with 'm4_'. FvwmM4 can be called with
|
|
option -m4-prefix and then will provide the option -P to M4.
|
|
I personally use the FvwmM4 module this way.
|
|
|
|
fvwm2 -f "FvwmM4 -m4-prefix -m4opt -I$HOME $HOME/.fvwmrc"
|
|
|
|
Simply add the following line to the end of .fvwmrc:
|
|
|
|
m4_include(`.fvwm2desk') .
|
|
|
|
.SH SETUP USING FVWMCPP MODULE
|
|
With the FVWMCPP you may have the problem that the preprocessor
|
|
directives starts with the comment charakter '#' and will
|
|
complain about unknown directives, if you have comments in your .fvwmrc.
|
|
|
|
fvwm2 -f "FvwmCpp -C-I$HOME $HOME/.fvwmrc"
|
|
|
|
Simply add the following line to the end of .fvwmrc:
|
|
|
|
#include ".fvwm2desk"
|
|
|
|
.SH INVOCATION
|
|
FvwmSaveDesk can be invoked by adding it to a menu or binding it to a
|
|
mouse button or keystoke in
|
|
the
|
|
.I .fvwmrc
|
|
file.
|
|
Fvwm2 will search directory specified in the ModulePath
|
|
configuration option to locate FvwmSaveDesk.
|
|
|
|
To insert it to a menu, add the line
|
|
|
|
+ "Save Desktop" Module FvwmSaveDesk
|
|
|
|
to the menu definition.
|
|
I thing binding it to a mouse button is not very useful, but you can
|
|
do that, by adding for example this line.
|
|
|
|
Mouse 3 R CS Module FvwmSaveDesk
|
|
|
|
Than FvwmSaveDesk will be called if you hit the right mouse button
|
|
on the root window while holding the shift and control button down.
|
|
|
|
You can bind FvwmSaveDesk to a function key F10 for example you have
|
|
to insert the following line:
|
|
|
|
Key F10 A Module FvwmSaveDesk
|
|
|
|
I personally add it as a Button to the module FvwmButtons:
|
|
|
|
*FvwmButtons SaveDesc desk.xpm Module FvwmSaveDesk
