Hi,
Is there a way to configure a Linux machine so that I can click on any where on the Xterm window to bring it to the front/top. By default, I have to click on the title bar but often the entire title bar is underneath another window.
Thanks in advance!

I have a Perl script that changes the terminal window title and I would like to reset it to the original value when I am done. We are using Putty which emulates xterm. We are not running X-Windows so I can't use something like xprop (can I?). I'm using XTerm control codes to change the title and I... (2 Replies)

fbrun
FBRUN(1) Fluxbox Manual FBRUN(1)NAME
fbrun - display run dialog window
SYNOPSIS
fbrun [options]
DESCRIPTION fbrun(1) is basically equivalent to the "Run..." dialog in other desktop environments. This means that it is an easy way to start a program
that isn't contained in the menu (or needs a special set of parameters for this particular invocation).
Pressing "Enter" will close the window and execute the command in your present $SHELL. Pressing "Esc" will close the window and does not
execute anything.
Another way fbrun can be useful is to be called from the menu with a preloaded command line that you can edit and then execute. An example
might be sshing to a very long host name with lots of options of which one changes all the time. In this case, you could add an entry for
fbrun to your menu that contains all the options and the host name. When you use said entry, you could edit the line as necessary and
execute it.
