NAME

       FvwmSaveDesk - another FVWM desktop-layout saving module

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       When  called,  this  module  will attempt to save your current desktop layout as a fvwm function definition into the file .fvwmdesk in your
       home directory. The function is named StartupFunction.  This Function can be called in Function InitFunction to startup all Programs on all
       Workspaces.   If  fvwm is compiled with the M4 option, you can include this file in .fvmrc else you have to insert this file by hand.  Your
       applications must supply certain hints to the X window system.  Emacs, for example, does not, so FvwmSaveDesk  can't  get  any  information
       from it.

       Also, FvwmSaveDesk assumes that certain command line options are globally accepted by applications, which may not be the case.

SETUP IF FVWM IS COMPILED WITH THE M4 OPTION
       Fvwm has to be called with the option

       -m4opt -I$HOME.

       The first line in .fvwmrc should be

       undefine(`include`),

       to avoid problems.  You can the include the file .fvwmdesk with

       sinclude(`.fvwmdesk') .

       Insert the following line into the Function InitFunction

       Function "I"    StartupFunction

       If you have GNU's m4 another possiblity is to compile fvwm with GNU_M4_OPTION_P and use

       m4_include(`.fvwmdesk')m4_dnl

       So you don't need to undefine `include'.

INVOCATION

       FvwmSaveDesk  can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module FvwmSaveDesk' in the .fvwmrc file.  This should be bound to a menu or mouse but-
       ton or keystroke to invoke it later. Fvwm will search directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt to locate Fvwm-
       SaveDesk.

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.
