Ah yes. Ghostview probably wants to grab the pointer when the
zoom window is opened, but since fvwm is in a complex function,
the pointer is already grabbed. Instead or retrying, gv gives up
immediately and closes the window. On my machine, the problem
goess away when I add this line at the front of the
autohide_window function:
+ I PointerWindow (gv) break
so the complete function looks like this:
DestroyFunc autohide_window
AddToFunc autohide_window
+ I PointerWindow (gv) break
+ I Schedule $[AUTO_HIDE_DELAY] $[AUTO_HIDE_GROUP] hide_all
+ I PointerWindow (FvwmIconMan) schedule_raise
+ I PointerWindow (FvwmButtons) schedule_raise
+ I PointerWindow (xclock) schedule_raise
+ I PointerWindow (xexec) schedule_raise
Fvwm breaks out of the function fast enough so that gv can grab
the pointer. Unfortunately, the pattern (gv) applies to all
ghostview windows, somewhat negating the effect of the autohide
setup.
