FVWM: FvwmIconMan - icons/buttons remain visible after closing application

[James Griffin]

Hi

In my custom taskbar/dock at the bottom of my screen, I have FvwmIconMan swallowed in an FvwmButtons instance.

When I close windows/applications, the button/icon for it in FvwmIconMan remains visible and does go for the remainder of the xsession. Only restarting fvwm resets it to show the windows that are still open.

I wondered if anyone else has noticed this and may know what the problem is and also how to stop it from happening.

I'm using fvwm version:
fvwm 2.6.5 compiled on Jun 22 2013 at 03:37:33
with support for: ReadLine, XPM, PNG, SVG, Shape, XShm, SM, Xinerama, XRender, XCursor, XFT, NLS


... on OpenBSD (package)


the section of my .fvwm/config file for the module is:


*Dock: (18x1, Frame 0, Padding 0 0, Swallow(UseOld,NoHints,Respawn) FvwmIconMan "Module FvwmIconMan")

The line above is the line which invokes the module in my taskbar using FvwmButtons. The following is self-explanatory; the configuration options for the module itself - in case that should help.


*FvwmIconMan: numManagers 1
*FvwmIconMan: Resolution desk
*FvwmIconMan: Background grey60
*FvwmIconMan: Foreground black
*FvwmIconMan: Format "%i"
*FvwmIconMan: Action Mouse 1 N sendcommand "Iconify off", sendcommand "Raise", sendcommand "FlipFocus"
*FvwmIconMan: Action Mouse 3 N sendcommand "Iconify"
*FvwmIconMan: FollowFocus true
*FvwmIconMan: SelectButton down cyan purple4
*FvwmIconMan: FocusButton up yellow red4
*FvwmIconMan: FocusAndSelectButton down yellow red4
*FvwmIconMan: PlainButton up black darkgray
*FvwmIconMan: DrawIcons always
*FvwmIconMan: Font "xft:Andale Mono:pixelsize=9:encoding=iso10646-1"
*FvwmIconMan: MaxButtonWidth 190
*FvwmIconMan: ReliefThickness 1
*FvwmIconMan: ButtonGeometry 170x30
*FvwmIconMan: ManagerGeometry 0x2
*FvwmIconMan: Title ""
*FvwmIconMan: UseWinList True
*FvwmIconMan: IconButton down yellow blue


Any help or tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Jamie.

*FvwmIconMan: ManagerGeometry 0x2

I managed to work out what was wrong. Unsuprisingly, it was a setting of mine that was wrong, shown in the above line.

So for the sake of the archives, for my setup which has the Icon Manager using 2 rows and 1 column, I needed to modify the ManagerGeometry to 1x2 - not 0x2. That sorted it out.

I apologise for posting when it should have been clear to me from the start.
