Post by Walter Alejandro IglesiasHello,
I use ClickToFocus and just IconMan, I don't use icons.
When I iconify a window I expect the last focused window
recovers the focus. It happens just randomly.
I use the default Iconify function. I've tried adding custom
functions (following what I've found in some posts in the Fvwm
forum about similar issues) without success. Perhaps I don't
understand well what Fvwm saves for Prev and Next windows; is this
managed by FvwmWindowList function?
Thanks in advance.
Walter
I also use ClickToFocus, and use FvwmEvent to switch focus when
iconifying. It works well for me.

It always takes longer than you expect, even
when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.
Hy Jonathan
Should I add this function to a custom version of Iconify?
Sounds like you got it working, but I'll follow up anyway. You don't
need to define your own version of Iconify. With the snippet I
posted, FvwmEvent runs FocusPrev every time a window is iconified (and
also whenever a window is destroyed, or the page or desk is changed).

Hi, Jonathan
I'd tried adding your function and activating FvwmEvent module
but the issue was still there. More late I released that neither
what I said in my last post had fixed it.
What finally worked was a little change I did in the function I use
for mouse actions on IconMan. Time ago I read this post:
http://www.fvwmforums.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=1933
and after trying some changes I got the function I was using till now:
DestroyFunc IconManClicked
AddToFunc IconManClicked
+ I ThisWindow (Iconic) Iconify
+ I TestRc (Match) Break
+ I ThisWindow (Focused) Iconify
+ I TestRc (Match) Break
+ I ThisWindow (!Focused) Focus
+ I TestRc (!Match) Break
+ I ThisWindow Raise
But for some reason, randomly selecting windows by clicking on the
iconman several times at some point altered the focus order. Now
I've changed it for this:
DestroyFunc IconManClicked
AddToFunc IconManClicked
+ I ThisWindow (Iconic) Iconify
+ I TestRc (Match) Break
+ I ThisWindow (Focused) Iconify
+ I TestRc (Match) Break
+ I ThisWindow (!Focused) FlipFocus
+ I TestRc (!Match) Break
+ I ThisWindow Raise
and problem solved. It was replacing Focus for FlipFocus the
magic touch.
