The lines are ok except of one missing line that you certainly use: *FvwmEvent: PassId The problem with FvwmEvent working on enter_window/leave_window is that these events are sent when you enter/leave small subwindows too, gtk+ widgets included. Here is a known problem when Raise/Lower is used, windows may easily placed so they compete for a place on top forever (i.e. alternately are raised/lowered until mouse does not leave the region: *FvwmEvent-Test: PassId *FvwmEvent-Test: enter_window "Selective Raise" *FvwmEvent-Test: leave_window "Selective Lower" DestroyFunc Selective AddToFunc Selective + I WindowId $1 $0 FvwmEvent FvwmEvent-Test #KillModule FvwmEvent FvwmEvent-Test I also sometimes experienced flickering of the pager labels forever when using enter_window/leave_window together with Schedule, but now when I tried hard, I can even sometimes reproduce this with your config above too. It seems that FvwmEvent with enter_window/leave_window (probably when using actions other than Raise/Lower too) is problematic, don't use it. I suggest to continue to discuss this on fvwm-workers list. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
