FVWM: Focus window based on class or resource

[Thomas Glanzmann]

Hello,
I use evince as pdf viewer. They recently changed the Name and Icon Name
to the name of the pdf. Now I'm unable to use my previous keybinding to
bring evince to focus. Is there way to use Next and specify 'Class' which is
Evince or 'Ressource' which is evince?

Key A A SC SmartStart "evince"

AddToFunc SmartStart
+ I Next ($0) Iconify off
+ I Next ($0) Raise
+ I Next (AcceptsFocus, $0) focus
+ I None ($0) Exec exec $1

Cheers,
Thomas

These commands match on:

The window name, icon name, class, and resource are considered when
attempting to find a match.

As long as Evince has something unchanging in class or resource you
should be good to go.

If all of those thing change, it's a problem with Evince.

thank you. After you mentioned that it has to work I realised that the
problem was that I had two SmartStart lines for the same Key
combination.
