NAME

       FvwmDragWell - A XDND drag well

SYNOPSIS

       FvwmDragWell

       FvwmDragWell  is a Xdnd drag well.  The user sends the data and type to the drag well via a fvwm SendToModule command.  The drag well indi-
       cates that it received the information via a crude animation.  The user may then drag the information from the well to  other  applications
       that support the Xdnd standard.	The fvwm module FvwmWharf accepts drops of type "text/uri-list".

INITIALIZATION

       During  initialization, FvwmDragWell gets config info from fvwm's module configuration database (see fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS).	If
       the FvwmDragWell executable is linked to another name, i.e. ln -s FvwmDragWell OtherDragWell, then another module called OtherDragWell  can
       be started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmDragWell, simply by changing the keyword FvwmDragWell to OtherDragWell. This
       way multiple FvwmDragWell programs may be used.

USE

       Data is sent to the module from fvwm using the SendToModule Command.  The form of the send to module command is:

       SendToModule modulename dragtype type-string, dragdata data

       type-string is a quoted string that declares the type of "data" and how the data will be exported.  The "typestring" string is converted to
       an XAtom.  The user should use standard Mime type strings, all in lower case.  Note that the module does no data conversion.

       There  is  one  exception  to  the  above format.  If the datatype string is omitted, the module assumes that the user is passing a file or
       directory path.	In this case, the string "file://$hostname/" is prepended to the data, and the data is exported as type "text/uri-list".

       Examples:

       SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragdata /usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0

       On hostname saturn, the drag well will convert the data to "file://saturn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0" and will export the  data  as  type
       "text/uri-list".  The long form of this command would be

       SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragtype text/uri-list, 
	    dragdata file://saturn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.3.8

INVOCATION

       FvwmDragWell must be invoked from fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       FvwmDragWell reads the same .fvwm2rc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for certain configuration options:

       *FvwmDragWell: Geometry geometry
	      Completely or partially specifies the Fvwm window location and geometry, in standard X11 notation. The default size is 48x48.

       *FvwmDragWell: DragWellGeometry geometry
	      Specifies the geometry of the drag box in the FvwmDragWell window, in the standard X11 notation.	Default is 30x30+9+9

       *FvwmDragWell: Colorset	colorset
	      The colorset is used for the background and shading of the drag well.  See the man page of FvwmTheme for a description of colorsets.

       *FvwmDragWell: Fore Color
	      The foreground color.  The default foreground color is grey60.

       *FvwmDragWell: Back Color
	      The background color.  The default background color is black.

       *FvwmDragWell: Shadow Color
	      The shadow color of the button relief. The default foreground relief color is grey20.

       *FvwmDragWell: Hilite Color
	      The hilight color of the button relief. The default background relief color is grey90.
