FvwmSaveDesk1(1)


NAME

   FvwmSaveDesk - another FVWM desktop-layout saving module

SYNOPSIS

   FvwmSaveDesk  is  spawned  by  fvwm, so no command line invocation will
   work.

DESCRIPTION

   When called, this module will attempt  to  save  your  current  desktop
   layout  as  a  fvwm function definition into the file .fvwmdesk in your
   home directory. The function is named StartupFunction.   This  Function
   can  be  called in Function InitFunction to startup all Programs on all
   Workspaces.  If fvwm is compiled with the M4 option,  you  can  include
   this  file  in  .fvmrc else you have to insert this file by hand.  Your
   applications must supply certain hints to the X window system.   Emacs,
   for  example,  does not, so FvwmSaveDesk can't get any information from
   it.

   Also, FvwmSaveDesk  assumes  that  certain  command  line  options  are
   globally accepted by applications, which may not be the case.

SETUP IF FVWM IS COMPILED WITH THE M4 OPTION

   Fvwm has to be called with the option

   -m4opt -I$HOME.

   The first line in .fvwmrc should be

   undefine(`include`),

   to avoid problems.  You can the include the file .fvwmdesk with

   sinclude(`.fvwmdesk') .

   Insert the following line into the Function InitFunction

   Function "I"    StartupFunction

   If  you  have  GNU's  m4  another  possiblity  is  to compile fvwm with
   GNU_M4_OPTION_P and use

   m4_include(`.fvwmdesk')m4_dnl

   So you don't need to undefine `include'.

INVOCATION

   FvwmSaveDesk can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module FvwmSaveDesk'
   in the .fvwmrc file.  This should 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 FvwmSaveDesk.
