pekwm configuration questions (mostly autoproperties related)...


I have been experimenting with pekwm for the past few weeks, and finally got around to setting the autoproperties for most of my applications. With this, I should have my system configured the way I want it. Most of them have gone perfectly, but I have a couple of issues.

Firstly, in the config file, I needed to make the Harbour not on top so that it does not sit above full-screened videos. This, however, means that it ends up below any application I happen to move to that side of the screen. I want to make it on top of everything except mplayer. I saw that autoproperties allows you to configure something to sit above the harbour, but xprop does not provide a name for mplayer. I have tried a few guesses for this configuration, but it does not seem to work. Is there a way to configure the system so that the harbour sits above everything except mplayer?

Secondly, Azureus/Vuze seems to be a problem. Similar to mplayer, xprop is not much help, so I seem unable to specify a name for it. I have the configuration set how I want, but without the name I cannot assign the configuration to the application. Guessing again did not work. Has anyone set autoproperties to this application before?

Thirdly, and this one is wierd. If I set autoproperties for emacs, it seems to react badly. It does not seem to matter what autoproperties I set, the window opens very, very small. Even if I specify the geometry, it does not seem to respect this. Removing the autoproperties configuration for emacs completely rectifies this issue. Do I just need to give up on this one, or is there something I can do to get this right?

In case it is relevant, I am running Debian Lenny with the versions of all applications as per stable (I am ultra-conservative :P).
