Hi,

I am trying to configure fluxbox to position a specific window in a
specific place but haven't been able to do it.  I can do this
generally but one window I would like appearing somewhere specific is
an Emacs window showing my org mode agenda.  The relevant xprop output
for this window is:

,----
| _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL
| WM_CLASS(STRING) = "emacs", "Emacs"
| WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "*Org Agenda*"
| _NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = 0x2a, 0x4f, 0x72, 0x67, 0x20, 0x41, 0x67, 0x65, 0x6e, 0x64, 0x61, 0x2a
| WM_NAME(STRING) = "*Org Agenda*"
| _NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = 0x2a, 0x4f, 0x72, 0x67, 0x20, 0x41, 0x67, 0x65, 0x6e, 0x64, 0x61, 0x2a
`----

Based on the wiki,

  http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Editing_the_apps_file

I have tried a number of combinations for the name, including
variations on

  [app] (.*Org Agenda.*)
  [app] (*Org Agenda*)

and with name= and title= on those.

None of these seems to work.

I know my apps file is working otherwise as all other windows appear
where they should, including other emacs windows using simply
(emacs).

Can anybody help?

Thanks,
eric
