1 # Unfortunately, order does matter in this file
2 # The correct order for inserting configurations is:
4 # 2. Assorted configuration paramters such as ClickToFocus, or MWMBorders
5 # 3. Path setup (ModulePath, PixmapPath, IconPath)
6 # 4. Style settings, including the default style Style "*" ...
7 # 5. InitFunction and ResetFunction definitions.
8 # 6. Other Functions. Functions cannot be forward referenced from
9 # other functions, but they can be backward referenced.
10 # 7. Menus definitions. Same caveats about forward referencing
11 # 8. Key and Mouse Bindings.
14 # The order of steps 5, 6, and 7 is not critical, as long as there are
15 # no forward references to functions or menus.

106 ######################## MWM EMULATION #######################
108 # My feeling is that everyone should use MWMDecorHints and MWMFunctionHints,
109 # since some applications depend on having the window manager respect them
111 # MWMFunction hints parses the function information in the MOTIF_WM_HINTS
112 # property, and prohibits use of these functions on the window. Appropriate
113 # portions of the window decorations are removed.
116 # MWM is kinda picky about what can be done to transients, and it was keeping
117 # me from iconifying some windows that I like to iconify, so here's an
118 # over-ride that will allow me to do the operation, even tough the menu
119 # item is shaded out.
122 # MWMDecor hints parses the decoration information in the MOTIF_WM_HINTS
123 # property, and removes these decoratons from the window. This does not affect
124 # the functions that can be performed via the menus.
127 # These are affect minor aspects for the look-and-feel.

158 # if possible, or falls back to random or interactive placement.
161 # With SmartPlacement, windows will normally place themselves over icons.
