Okay, one final issue then. When I start stuff, I have to choose it via the client list menu or else it will not show up. Any ideas?

If you mean start apps at login, you use the ~/.pekwm/start file like this:

#!/bin/sh

urxvt &
rox &
scite &
firefox &
thunderbird &

smoon, that bug is fixed in the SVN version of pekwm. i filed the bug with them some time ago.

unfortunately, i think the svn version has some bugs of its own.

anyway, here's a PKGBUILD file to grab the latest SVN commit.

pkgname=pekwm-svn
pkgver='0.1.4pre2'
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="A small, fast, functional, and flexible window manager"
depends=('x-server')
replaces=('pekwm')
url="http://pekwm.org/"

build() {
  svn co http://pekwm.org/svn/pekwm $startdir/src/$pkgname

  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname
  /bin/mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/etc/X11/sessions
    
  ./autogen.sh
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-shape 
      --enable-xft --disable-xinerama --disable-debug --enable-menus 
      --enable-keygrabber --disable-pcre --enable-imlib2
  /usr/bin/make || return 1
  /usr/bin/make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

No, I mean all apps in general. Oddly, I do not get the same issue when I run pekwm in conjuction with Xfce.

keevn, check your autoproperties... sounds like everything is being forced to start minimized. that's not default though, so you must've done something funny

No, I did nothing to autoproperties and everything in it is commented out. Also, even with pypanel running I must choose it from the client menu in order to make it visible.

Thanks, I'll try this one out tonight.

It seems we had a similar idea for a status bar :-)

Haha, yeah. But yours is much prettier. Maybe I'll try out conky as well to get this neat little graphs.

I didn't spend a month writing for the cvs PKGBUILD guidelines for fun you know!

keevn7 · 2005-09-16 19:20:30

So... anymore ideas about why I cannot see applications that I open until I choose them from the client menu?

paranoos · 2005-09-16 21:10:08

keevn7, post all your ~/,pekwm/ files

ozar · 2005-09-17 21:48:55

I really do love Pekwm, but I'll swear Openbox feels a little snappier in performance on my machine. Wonder why would that be?

That said, they both feel faster than Fluxbox.

It's the same here, Openbox feels snappier than Pekwm, Fluxbox or any Windowmanager I tried so far (execpt e17, which feels very fast as well).

iBertus · 2005-09-17 22:26:59

Openbox's menus feel.... ehh, slow on my machine! They dont' respond at all sometimes when I quickly move the pointer over several menus items.

The menus always work really fast on my box. Wonder if there might be something wrong with your menu.xml file?

If I use the mouse in the menus and move it very fast, Ob seems to skip a few entries, if I go through the entries with the keyboard the menus respond very fast. I always thought this skipping was a feature rather than a bug. But there's already another thread about that: OB3 menus slower than hell!

Ah, now I see what you mean. If I should run across a fix, I'll post it in the other thread.

Gullible Jones · 2005-09-17 23:48:11

You're talking about the menu not doing anything when you jerk the mouse across it really fast? I think that's intentional... maybe it should be an option, "mouse speed limit for menu response" or somesuch.

question... how can I make a menu disappear automatically when the cursor moves it. I tried this:
Menu {
    Enter = "Any Any" { Actions = "Focus" }
    Motion = "Mod1 1" { Threshold = "4"; Actions = "Focus; Raise; Move" }
    Leave = "Any Any" { Actions = "Close" }
}
in the mouse config file, but the leave line doesn't seem to be doing what I expect. :-/
Dusty

It's quite late, but here's how I've done it:

Root {

[...]

    Enter = "Any Any" { Actions = "HideAllMenus" }
    }

And on "client":

[...]

Enter = "Any Any" { Actions = "Focus; Raise; HideAllMenus" }

The point is "HideAllMenus"; the prior actions are there just because I like auto-raise, even though I'd really like if it had a delay of some milliseconds, like it's possible to set up in openbox or fluxbox.

Nearly 4 years... wow.

Before the necrobumping police show up, I want to say that I actually think it's a good idea to add info to threads which turn up in recent searches even if they're relatively ancient. It could be useful for others looking for the same or similar solutions.

Still... 4 years...

Hello All,

I am running Arch with pekwm.

I have finally managed to get Microsoft Office 2010 working through playonlinux, however I cannot seem to add the relevant entry to the menu.

I have tried:

Entry = "Word" { Actions = "Exec /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run Microsoft Word 2010 %F" }

But nothing happens when I click the Word on the menu.

I have used something similar for CM0102 which works fine, Entry = "Play" { Actions = "Exec /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run cm0304 %F" }

Please can somebody help me as I have run out of ideas.

Many thanks,

Zé
