Hi, I'm trying to setup a machine in some kind of kiosk mode. It should cycle through a number of applications automatically, skipping all that are Iconic. Sometimes that works, but under some circumstances it just stops at one window and does not proceed anymore. First I thought that would be related to the Maximized state of a window, but it also does so for normal ones. So, I now think it is related to me not understanding the "The Ring of Windows" at all so that sometimes the "Next Window" is still pointing to the current one or that the next window is evaluated at the wrong point in execution. But that is just wild guessing.
I'm using this ~/.fvwm/.fvwmrc: DeskTopSize 1x1 DestroyFunc StartFunction AddToFunc StartFunction + I GotoDesk 0 0 DestroyFunc RaiseAndFocus AddToFunc RaiseAndFocus + I Focus + I Raise DestroyFunc NextWindow AddToFunc NextWindow + I Next (!Iconic) RaiseAndFocus DestroyMenu MenuFvwmRoot AddToMenu MenuFvwmRoot + "Start cycle" Schedule Periodic 3000 1 NextWindow + "Stop cycle" Deschedule 1 + "Xterm" Exec exec xterm + "FvwmConsole" FvwmConsole + "Exit" Quit DestroyMenu MenuWindow AddToMenu MenuWindow + "Icon on/off" Iconify + "Maximize" Maximize + "Close" Close Mouse 0 I A Menu MenuWindow Mouse 0 1 A Menu MenuWindow Mouse 0 2 A Maximize Mouse 0 4 A Iconify Key M A C Menu MenuFvwmRoot The kiosk machine runs a current Ubuntu with this fvwm version: fvwm 2.5.30 compiled on Oct 16 2010 at 06:58:35 with support for: ReadLine, RPlay, Stroke, XPM, PNG, SVG, Shape, XShm, SM, Bidi text, Xinerama, XRender, XCursor, XFT, NLS fvwm comes with NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.
