Last year, I came back to fvwm after 10 years and started to learn how to configure it. I started with version 2.5.26 (Debian Lenny). Eleven days ago, I migrated an existing (still dirty, but extremly powerful) configuration to a new Debian Squeeze plattform with "FVWM 2.5.30". I had to change the order of some code to make my config work with "FVWM 2.5.30". This code only works with "FVWM 2.5.26" > # set some layers > Key Plus WTSF123456789 S4 Function "raise-to-top" > Key Numbersign WTSF123456789 S4 Function "set-to-put" > Key Minus WTSF123456789 S4 Function "lower-to-bottom" > > # define some layer functions > AddToFunc lower-to-bottom > + I Layer 0 2 > + I Lower > + I Stick > + I Stick > > AddToFunc set-to-put > + I Layer 0 4 > + I Stick > + I Stick > + I Raise > > AddToFunc raise-to-top > + I Layer 0 6 > + I Stick > + I Stick > + I Raise This is the way, the code has to look like if I want to have it work with "FVWM 2.5.30" too: > # define some layer functions > AddToFunc lower-to-bottom > + I Layer 0 2 > + I Lower > + I Stick > + I Stick > > AddToFunc set-to-put > + I Layer 0 4 > + I Stick > + I Stick > + I Raise > > AddToFunc raise-to-top > + I Layer 0 6 > + I Stick > + I Stick > + I Raise > > # set some layers > Key Plus WTSF123456789 S4 Function "raise-to-top" > Key Numbersign WTSF123456789 S4 Function "set-to-put" > Key Minus WTSF123456789 S4 Function "lower-to-bottom" The change is minimal, but not always, you should assume to have enough luck to take over an FVWM config utterly untouched. Just my two cents :-) Michael
