9.8. Event.fvwmconf

FvwmEvent(1) module configuration. In this file a single instance of the FvwmEvent called MainLoop is defined. It passes ID (Window ID, desk etc ... depending on context) for window manager actions. Cmd option is empty: FVWM functions are used for all defined actions. The following events are observed and reacted by functions Currently:

Event Functions from Functions.fvwmconf are triggered on the events above. This serves Workspace Manager, Page Manager (PGM) and window placement functions in an important way. If redefined or disabled, things will start to break. It can be extended by the user to suit the needs in $NSCDE_USERDIR/Event.fvwmlocal, but here also care must be taken, because complex functions, or calling slow and/or resource hungry commands from that functions can make FVWM (and hence NsCDE) dramatically slow and even unstable.
