Configuration Parameters, ie ClickToFocus, MWMBorders, etc

###########################################################################
# Set up the major operating modes
#
########################      FOCUS STUFF     ##############################
# Set windows to auto-raise after 750 milliseconds if you like it.
# Autoraise can sometimes obscure pop-up windows. Performance is now
# similar to olvwm's auto-raise feature.
#AutoRaise 750

# Normally, we'll be in focus-follows mouse mode, but uncomment this 
# for mwm-style click-to-focus
#ClickToFocus

########################      ICON STUFF     ##############################
# Auto Place Icons is a nice feature....
# This creates two icon boxes, one on the left side, then one on the
# bottom. Leaves room in the upper left for my clock and xbiff,
# room on the bottom for the Pager.
#IconBox -150 90 -5 -140
#IconBox 5 -140 -140 -5
IconBox -70 1 -1 -140

# If you uncomment this, and make sure that the WindowList is bound to
# something, it works pretty much like an icon manager.
#SuppressIcons

# StubbornIcons makes icons de-iconify into their original position on the
# desktop, instead of on the current page.
#StubbornIcons

# With AutoPlacement, icons will normally place themselves underneath active
# windows. This option changes that.
#StubbornIconPlacement

# If you want ALL you icons to follow you around the desktop (Sticky), try
# this
#StickyIcons

########################      MWM EMULATION     #######################
#
# My feeling is that everyone should use MWMDecorHints and MWMFunctionHints,
# since some applications depend on having the window manager respect them

# MWMFunction hints parses the function information in the MOTIF_WM_HINTS
# property, and prohibits use of these functions on the window. Appropriate
# portions of the window decorations are removed.
MWMFunctionHints

# MWM is kinda picky about what can be done to transients, and it was keeping
# me from iconifying some windows that I like to iconify, so here's an
# over-ride that will allow me to do the operation, even tough the menu
# item is shaded out.
MWMHintOverride

# MWMDecor hints parses the decoration information in the MOTIF_WM_HINTS
# property, and removes these decoratons from the window. This does not affect
# the functions that can be performed via the menus.
MWMDecorHints

# These are affect minor aspects for the look-and-feel.
# Sub-menus placement mwm-style?
# MWMMenus
# mwm-style border reliefs (less deep than default fvwm) ?
# MWMBorders
# Maximize button does mwm-inversion thingy
# MWMButtons
########################      MISCELLANEOUS STUFF     #######################
# If you don't like the default 150 msec click delay for the complex functions
# change this and uncomment it.
# ClickTime 150

# OpaqueMove has a number (N) attached to it (default 5).
# if the window occupies less than N% of the screen, 
# then opaque move is used. 0 <= N <= 100
# OpaqueMove 100

# flip by whole pages on the edge of the screen.
EdgeScroll 100 100

# A modest delay before flipping pages seems to be nice...
# I thresh in a 50 pixel Move-resistance too, just so people
# can try it out.
EdgeResistance 250 5


########################      WINDOW PLACEMENT     #######################
# RandomPlacement prevents user interaction while placing windows:
RandomPlacement

# SmartPlacement makes new windows pop-up in blank regions of screen 
# if possible, or falls back to random or interactive placement.
SmartPlacement

# With SmartPlacement, windows will normally place themselves over icons. 
# Uncomment this to change that.
#StubbornPlacement

# NoPPosition instructs fvwm to ignore the PPosition field in window 
# geometry hints. Emacs annoyingly sets PPosition to (0,0)!
NoPPosition


########################      DECORATIONS     #######################
# If you want decorated transient windows, uncomment this:
#DecorateTransients


###########################################################################
# Set up the virtual desktop and pager

#set the desk top size in units of physical screen size
DeskTopSize 2x2

# and the reduction scale used for the panner/pager
DeskTopScale 32
