NAME
FvwmSave - the FVWM desktop-layout saving module SYNOPSIS
FvwmSave is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work. DESCRIPTION
When called, this module will attempt to save your current desktop layout into a file called new.xinitrc. Ideally, this file will look just like .xinitrc, but in reality, you will have to edit it to get a usable configuration, so be sure to keep a backup of your old .xinitrc. Your applications must supply certain hints to the X window system. Emacs, for example, does not, so FvwmSave can't get any information from it. Also, FvwmSave assumes that certain command line options are globally accepted by applications, which may not be the case. COPYRIGHTS
The NoClutter 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, NoClutter 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 NoClutter executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s NoClutter OtherClutter, then another module called OtherClutter can be started, with a completely different configuration than NoClutter, simply by changing the keyword NoClutter to OtherClutter. This way mul- tiple clutter-reduction programs can be used. INVOCATION
NoClutter can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module NoClutter' in the .fvwmrc file. This can be placed on a line by itself, if NoClutter 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 NoClutter. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
NoClutter reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines similar to "*NoClutter 3600 Iconify". The format of these lines is "*NoClutter [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

NAME
FvwmScroll - the fvwm scroll-bar module SYNOPSIS
FvwmScroll is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work. DESCRIPTION
The FvwmScroll 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 adds scroll bars to the selected window, to reduce the total desktop space consumed by the window. FvwmScroll should not be used with windows which move or resize themselves, nor should it be used with windows which set the WM_COL- ORMAP_WINDOWS property. Operation is fine with windows that have a private colormap. COPYRIGHTS
The FvwmScroll 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, FvwmScroll gets config info from fvwm's module configuration database (see fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS) to determine which colors to use. If the FvwmScroll executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s FvwmScroll MoreScroll, then another module called MoreScroll can be started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmScroll, simply by changing the keyword FvwmScroll to MoreScroll. INVOCATION
FvwmScroll can be invoked by binding the action 'Module FvwmScroll x y' to a menu or key-stroke in the .fvwm2rc file. The parameter x and y are either integers or integers immediately followed by a p, which describe the horizontal and vertical size modification of the window. An integer describe a size reduction. An integer followed by a p describe a size as a percentage of the height or the width of a full screen but the size is never larger than the original window size (0p will do nothing). Fvwm will search directory specified in the Mod- ulePath configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmScroll. Although nothing keeps you from launching FvwmScroll at start-up time, you probably don't want to. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
*FvwmScroll: Colorset n Tells the module to use colorset n. See FvwmTheme. *FvwmScroll: Back color Tells the module to use color instead of black for the window background. Switches off the Colorset option. BUGS
When the scroll bars are removed by clicking on the button in the lower right corner, the window does not restore its location correctly. AUTHOR
