Fvwm does not manage desk objects. The desk a window is present on is just a property of the window, so there is no direct way to do that. However, you can do some scripting: -- snip -- addtofunc custom_gotodesk + I setenv _desk $0 + I test (envmatch _desk 1) all (xeyes) stick on + I test (envmatch _desk 2) all (xeyes) stick on + I test (envmatch _desk 3) all (xclock) stick on + I test (envmatch _desk 4) all (xclock) stick on + I GotoDesk 0 $0 + I All (xeyes) stick off + I All (xclock) stick off + I unsetenv _desk -- snip -- Call this function instead of GotoDesk with custom_gotodesk <desknum> -- This won't work if you click on the pager to switch desks because the GotoPage command is hard coded there. In that case, FvwmEvent helps: -- snip -- *FvwmEvent: new_desk deskchange Module FvwmEvent addtofunc deskchange + I echo dc $[desk.n] + I setenv _desk $[desk.n] + I test (envmatch _desk 1) all (xeyes) movetodesk + I test (envmatch _desk 2) all (xeyes) movetodesk + I test (envmatch _desk 3) all (xclock) movetodesk + I test (envmatch _desk 4) all (xclock) movetodesk + I unsetenv _desk -- snip -- You'll probably want to put the module execution in the initfunction/restartfunction.
