FvwmSaveDesk - another FVWM desktop-layout saving module

SYNOPSIS

       FvwmSaveDesk  is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invo-
       cation will work.

DESCRIPTION

       When called, this module will attempt to save your current
       desktop layout as a fvwm function definition into the file
       .fvwmdesk in your home directory. The  function  is  named
       StartupFunction  InitFunction  to startup all Programms on
       all Workspaces.  If fvwm is compiled with the  M4  option,
       you  can  include  this  file  in  .fvmrc else you have to
       insert this file by hand.  Your applications  must  supply
       certain hints to the X window system.  Emacs, for example,
       does not, so FvwmSaveDesk can't get any  information  from
       it.

       Also,  FvwmSaveDesk  assumes  that  certain  command  line
       options are globally accepted by applications,  which  may
       not be the case.

SETUP IF FVWM IS COMPILED WITH THE M4 OPTION

       Fvwm has to be called with the option

       -m4opt -I$HOME.

       The first line in .fvwmrc should be

       undefine(`include`),

       to avoid problems.  You can the include the file .fvwmdesk
       with

       sinclude(`.fvwmdesk') .

       Insert the following line into the Function InitFunction

       Function "I"    StartupFunction

       If you have GNU's m4 another possiblity is to compile fvwm
       with GNU_M4_OPTION_P and use

       m4_include(`.fvwmdesk')m4_dnl

       So you don't need to undefine `include'.

INVOCATION

       FvwmSaveDesk  can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module
       Fvwm will search directory  specified  in  the  ModulePath
       configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmSaveDesk.
