FvwmClean(1.20) FvwmClean(1.20)
NAMEFvwmClean - the FVWM desktop clutter reduction module
SYNOPSISFvwmClean 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 configura‐
tion file is the same file that fvwm used during initialization.
If the FvwmClean executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s Fvwm‐
Clean OtherClutter, then another module called OtherClutter can be
started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmClean, sim‐
ply by changing the keyword FvwmClean to OtherClutter. This way multi‐
ple clutter-reduction programs can be used.
INVOCATIONFvwmClean 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 OPTIONSFvwmClean 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.
