FvwmSaveDesk(1.0)				FvwmSaveDesk(1.0)

NAME
       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
       FvwmSaveDesk' in the .fvwmrc file.  This should	be  bound

FvwmSaveDesk(1.0)				FvwmSaveDesk(1.0)

       to a menu or mouse button or keystroke to invoke it later.
       Fvwm will search directory  specified  in  the  ModulePath
       configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmSaveDesk.
