FvwmIdent(1) General Commands Manual FvwmIdent(1) NAME
FvwmIdent - the FVWM identify-window module SYNOPSIS
FvwmIdent is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work. DESCRIPTION
The FvwmIdent module prompts the user to select a target window, if the module was not launched from within a window context in Fvwm. After that, it pops up a window with information about the window which was selected. FvwmIdent reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines similar to "*FvwmIdentFore green". COPYRIGHTS
The FvwmIdent program, and the concept for interfacing this module to the Window Manager, are all original work by Robert Nation and Nobu- taka Suzuki. Copyright 1994, Robert Nation and Nobutaka Suzuki. 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, FvwmIdent will eventually search a configuration file which describes the colors and font to use. The configuration file is the same file that fvwm used during initialization. If the FvwmIdent executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s FvwmIdent MoreIdentify, then another module called MoreIdentify can be started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmIdent, simply by changing the keyword FvwmIdent to MoreIdentify. This way mul- tiple clutter-reduction programs can be used. INVOCATION
FvwmIdent can be invoked by binding the action 'Module FvwmIdent' to a menu or key-stroke in the .fvwmrc file. Fvwm will search directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmIdent. Although nothing keeps you from launching FvwmIdent at start-up time, you probably don't want to. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmIdent reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines as listed below: *FvwmIdentFore color Tells the module to use color instead of black for text. *FvwmIdentBack color Tells the module to use color instead of black for the window background. *FvwmIdentFont fontname Tells the module to use fontname instead of fixed for text.

FvwmClean(1) General Commands Manual FvwmClean(1) 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. AUTHOR
