FvwmClean1(1)


NAME

   FvwmClean - the FVWM desktop clutter reduction module

SYNOPSIS

   FvwmClean 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
   configuration   file   is   the   same   file  that  fvwm  used  during
   initialization.

   If the FvwmClean executable  is  linked  to  another  name,  ie  ln  -s
   FvwmClean  OtherClutter, then another module called OtherClutter can be
   started, with a  completely  different  configuration  than  FvwmClean,
   simply  by  changing  the  keyword  FvwmClean to OtherClutter. This way
   multiple clutter-reduction programs can be used.

INVOCATION

   FvwmClean 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 OPTIONS

   FvwmClean  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.
