NAME

       FvwmClean - the FVWM desktop clutter reduction module

SYNOPSIS

       FvwmClean is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.

DESCRIPTION

       The  FvwmClean  module performs actions on windows which have not had the keyboard focus for a specific length of time. This is intended to
       help alleviate the problem of leaving programs running in unused portions of your desktop.

       FvwmClean reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines similar to "*FvwmNoClutter 3600 Iconify".

COPYRIGHTS

       The FvwmClean program, and the concept for interfacing this module to the Window Manager, are all original work by Robert Nation

       Copyright 1994, Robert Nation. No guarantees or warranties or anything are provided or implied in any way whatsoever. Use this  program	at
       your own risk. Permission to use this program for any purpose is given, as long as the copyright is kept intact.

INITIALIZATION

       During  initialization,	FvwmClean will eventually search a configuration file which describes the time-outs and actions to take.  The con-
       figuration file is the same file that fvwm used during initialization.

       If the FvwmClean executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s FvwmClean OtherClutter, then another  module  called  OtherClutter  can	be
       started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmClean, simply by changing the keyword  FvwmClean to OtherClutter. This way mul-
       tiple clutter-reduction programs can be used.

INVOCATION

       FvwmClean can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module FvwmClean' in the .fvwmrc file. This can be placed on a line by itself, if FvwmClean
       is  to be spawned during fvwm's initialization, or can be bound to a menu or mouse button or keystroke to invoke it later. Fvwm will search
       directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmClean.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       FvwmClean reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines similar to "*FvwmClean 3600 Iconify". The format
       of these lines is "*FvwmClean [time] [command]", where command is any fvwm built-in command, and time is the time in seconds between when a
       window looses focus and when the command is executed. At most 3 actions can be specified.
