FVWM: chromium: no refresh on deiconify

[Harald Dunkel]

Hi folks,

Seems that chromium (38 or 39) doesn't refresh when it is deiconified.
I just get a white rectangle with the usual fvwm decorations.
Using chrome I just get a transparent window without decorations.
Good ol' twm doesn't show this problem.

fvwm is version 2.6.5, as it can be found in Jessie. .fvwm2rc has been
taken from the examples directory.

Can anybody reproduce this? Every helpful is highly appreciated.

Yep, lots of good work arounds in there. I use the sticky toggle
with delay between the toggles.

In another chrome annoyance, I just had a recent update start
looking very peculiar with the window decorations screwed up
and an extra set of window management buttons in the chrome window
itself, but I found the setting that says "Hey! Let the damn
window manager control that stuff" and turning that on made
the decorations go back to normal. (I really wonder what goes
through the brain of chrome developers lately).

Thanx, I was too blind to see.
After replacing the "Iconify" by "Switch-Iconic" it works again.
My version:

DestroyFunc Switch-Iconic
AddToFunc Switch-Iconic
+ I Iconify
+ I Pick (CurrentPage,!Iconic,"* Google Chrome") DeiconifyChromeBug
+ I Pick (CurrentPage,!Iconic,"* Chromium") DeiconifyChromeBug

DestroyFunc DeiconifyChromeBug
AddToFunc DeiconifyChromeBug
+ I Stick
+ I Stick


Thanx very much
Harri

DestroyFunc DeiconifyChromeBug AddToFunc DeiconifyChromeBug + I Stick + I Stick

I wonder why this works at all. Shouldn't the stick toggle be transparent
to the client?
