hi there:

i have just found something interesting in my fluxbox when using xterm from the menu(right mouse click).

whenever i call a xterm, it will always be put in the workspace 1, even though i am in other workspace. while calling other apps from the fluxbox menu is ok.

is there a setting or option in xterm that i need to enable so that it will work with the workspaces?

cheers

Maybe you accidentally ticked the workspace in
xterm's remember-menu (fluxbox feature).

ummm, when i looked into the remember sub menu, i got

workspace
jump to workspace
dimensions
position
sticky
.
.
.

but no "menu" option.

something incorrect in my fluxbox setting?

cheers

CHUN

Nope ... the things you just listed constitute
the menu ...

ok, i got what you mean, i will play with it a bit later. i just got fluxbox a few days ago and am working my way through it.

by the way, i am thinking of setting it up so that when fluxbox starts, 4 terminal windows will start at workspace1 and they will have no title, button bar, scroll, window frame and so on as if they are mounted on the root window. i have got aterm but am thinking of trying out eterm as lots of docs on the net seems to suggest eterm as the one to use. any advice?

From my experience aterm is a good choice, uses less resources than eterm. And with the xterm problem, just open up ~/.fluxbox/apps in nano or something and remove the workspace number for xterm. Can't remember the exact syntax now but it shouldn't be too hard to find

i had

[workspace] {0}

in ~/.fluxbox/apps and i removed the entire line and its still the same, do i need to restart fluxbox for it to take effect? if yes, i can't do that just now as i am compiling something in xterm

as to aterm, i found what i need but need to tweak it a bit so that it starts automatically and can't be moved and so on

aterm -tr -trsb -bw 0 -g 132X52 -bl -rv


cheers

Just out of curiosity: what do you need for
static aterm's for? :)

i thought it will be nice to position/size them in one workspace so that i can see all of them at once. and of course i would like the arrangement to be saved so that it can be done automatically when fluxbox loads up.

this is because that i found myself using 3 or 4 terminals at once a lot of time and i am tired of moving them around, so i like to arrange them like

aterm1 aterm3
aterm2 aterm4

or

aterm1aterm3
aterm2aterm3

aterm3 is twice the height of aterm1 and 2, in case i am reading long files.

and if i need to use other apps, i will swtich to different workspace.

am i making sense?

cheers

Might need to restart fluxbox I'm not sure..
