NAME
FvwmSaveDesk - another FVWM desktop-layout saving module
SYNOPSIS
FvwmSaveDesk is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invoca-
tion will work.
DESCRIPTION
When called, this module will attempt to save your current
desktop layout as a definition of extra lines for the func-
tion InitFunction into the file .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 .fvwm2rc after the definition of the Function Init-
function. You can do this by using the module FvwmM4 or
FvwmCpp.
Your applications must supply certain hints to the X window
system. Emacs and 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.
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 $HOME/.fvwm2rc"
Simply add the following line to the end of .fvwm2rc:
m4_include(`.fvwm2desk') .
SETUP USING FVWMCPP MODULE
With the FVWMCPP you may have the problem that the prepro-
cessor directives starts with the comment charakter '#' and
will complain about unknown directives, if you have comments
in your .fvwm2rc.
fvwm2 -f "FvwmCpp -C-I$HOME $HOME/.fvwm2rc"
Simply add the following line to the end of .fvwm2rc:
#include ".fvwm2desk"
INVOCATION
FvwmSaveDesk can be invoked by adding it to a menu or bind-
ing it to a mouse button or keystoke in the .fvwm2rc file.
Fvwm2 will search directory specified in the ModulePath con-
figuration option to locate FvwmSaveDesk.
To insert it to a menu, add the line
+ "Save Desktop" Module FvwmSaveDesk
to the menu defintion. I thing binding it to a mouse button
is not very useful, but you can do that, by adding for exam-
ple 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 con-
trol 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
