Hello - I just joined this list. I liked FVWM in Linux so I put it on my
account on an Alpha at work with Win95 as my X Server. I copied and
edited my Linux .fvwmrc file. All seems well, except the pager is only
visible in the upper left most window. Paging seems to work correctly, if
I use the pager to go to another page and start an application there it
is there and when I bring up the pager I can see that the app is in the
correct page. However, the pager is only displayed in the left top page.
I have to click the right mouse button to bring it up.
Pardon me if this is an idiotic question but it's bugging me. Enclosed is
my .fvwmrc.
TIA
John Holland

# Set up the major operating modes
#
######################## FOCUS STUFF ##############################
# Set windows to auto-raise after 750 milliseconds if you like it.
# Autoraise can sometimes obscure pop-up windows. Performance is now
# similar to olvwm's auto-raise feature.
#AutoRaise 750
# Normally, we'll be in focus-follows mouse mode, but uncomment this
# for mwm-style click-to-focus
ClickToFocus
######################## ICON STUFF ##############################
# Auto Place Icons is a nice feature....
# This creates two icon boxes, one on the left side, then one on the
# bottom. Leaves room in the upper left for my clock and xbiff,
# room on the bottom for the Pager.
IconBox -150 90 -5 -140
IconBox 5 -140 -140 -5
#IconBox -70 1 -1 -140
# If you uncomment this, and make sure that the WindowList is bound to
# something, it works pretty much like an icon manager.
#SuppressIcons
# StubbornIcons makes icons de-iconify into their original position on the
# desktop, instead of on the current page.
#StubbornIcons
# With AutoPlacement, icons will normally place themselves underneath active
# windows. This option changes that.
#StubbornIconPlacement
# If you want ALL you icons to follow you around the desktop (Sticky), try
# this
#StickyIcons
######################## MWM EMULATION #######################
#
# My feeling is that everyone should use MWMDecorHints and MWMFunctionHints,
# since some applications depend on having the window manager respect them
# MWMFunction hints parses the function information in the MOTIF_WM_HINTS
# property, and prohibits use of these functions on the window. Appropriate
# portions of the window decorations are removed.
#MWMFunctionHints
# MWM is kinda picky about what can be done to transients, and it was keeping
# me from iconifying some windows that I like to iconify, so here's an
# over-ride that will allow me to do the operation, even tough the menu
# item is shaded out.
MWMHintOverride
# MWMDecor hints parses the decoration information in the MOTIF_WM_HINTS
# property, and removes these decoratons from the window. This does not affect
# the functions that can be performed via the menus.
MWMDecorHints
# These are affect minor aspects for the look-and-feel.
# Sub-menus placement mwm-style?
MWMMenus
# mwm-style border reliefs (less deep than default fvwm) ?
MWMBorders
# Maximize button does mwm-inversion thingy
MWMButtons
######################## MISCELLANEOUS STUFF #######################
# If you don't like the default 150 msec click delay for the complex functions
# change this and uncomment it.
#ClickTime 150
# OpaqueMove has a number (N) attached to it (default 5).
# if the window occupies less than N% of the screen,
# then opaque move is used. 0 <= N <= 100
OpaqueMove 100
# flip by whole pages on the edge of the screen.
EdgeScroll 100 100
# A modest delay before flipping pages seems to be nice...
# I thresh in a 50 pixel Move-resistance too, just so people
# can try it out.
#EdgeResistance 250 50
# I like to use a large virtual screen and move from page to page with the
# pager.
EdgeResistance 10000 0
######################## WINDOW PLACEMENT #######################
# RandomPlacement prevents user interaction while placing windows:
# RandomPlacement
# SmartPlacement makes new windows pop-up in blank regions of screen
# if possible, or falls back to random or interactive placement.
#SmartPlacement
# With SmartPlacement, windows will normally place themselves over icons.
# Uncomment this to change that.
#StubbornPlacement
# NoPPosition instructs fvwm to ignore the PPosition field in window
# geometry hints. Emacs annoyingly sets PPosition to (0,0)!
NoPPosition
######################## DECORATIONS #######################
# If you want decorated transient windows, uncomment this:
#DecorateTransients
