Hello World,
I have a fairly complex setup where I have some common files shared among
several machines and some machine-specific files. I seem to be having a
little trouble getting Style to work right in this environment.
In my ~/.fvwm2rc file, I have (among a lot of other things) the line
FvwmM4 -m4-prefix .fvwm2rc-machine
.fvwm2rc-machine is
m4_define(`machine_fvwm2rc', `m4_esyscmd(echo "/home/norm/.$SHORTNAME/.fvwm2rc")')
Read machine_fvwm2rc
The practical upshot of this is that fvwm2 encounters
Read /home/norm/.hermes/.fvwm2rc
in the file processed by FvwmM4 (on my laptop, anyway). In
/home/norm/.hermes/.fvwm2rc I have:
# This is the fragment of the .fvwm2rc file specific to the host
# hermes.berkshire.net
#
HilightColor black palevioletred
MenuStyle maroon black grey40 -adobe-times-bold-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* fvwm
Style "xapm" NoTitle, NoHandles, Sticky, WindowListSkip
Style "xapm" BorderWidth 0, CirculateSkip, ClickToFocus
Style "xapm" Color black/#aa80aa
What is interesting is that MenuStyle _works_ but the Style attributes
for xapm are ignored. If I copy these lines back into my top-level
.fvwm2rc file, they work fine.
Have I described the problem sufficiently? Is this a bug or a feature? ;-)
