Dear Albrecht,
I do not understand the last FvwmAuto line, but there is in fact a way
to do it without style flags. Though I agree that it is ugly. Here's
my proposal, you might want to add your comments on the
meaningfulness.
With the new SendToModule command, it would be easy to add a menu
entry that enables or disables AutoRaise for the particular window for
which it was invoked. FvwmAuto could read an initial specification of
windows which are to be autoraised as *FvwmAuto lines in .fvwm2rc;
this could then later be changed on a per-window basis with
SendToModule.
I would use the autoraise and autolower features as follows: the
console window (plus a few others) should always be autoraised (and
-lowered), so I would put them in the *FvwmAuto lines. After that,
when I create a new xdvi window and feel like it, I turn on autoraise
(and -lower) for that particular window with a key binding or a menu
entry.
Whatcha think?
