NAME
olvwm - OPEN LOOK virtual window manager for X11 and
OpenWindows
SYNOPSIS
olvwm [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
olvwm is a virtual window manager for the X Window System
that implements parts of the OPEN LOOK graphical user inter-
face. olvwm differs from olwm in that olvwm manages a vir-
tual desktop which is larger than the actual screen. How-
ever, olvwm is equivalent in all other respects to, and sup-
ports all the features of olwm. This manual page discusses
only the changes between olvwm and olwm, most of which deal
specifically with the virtual desktop. For details on how
olwm operates, including its host of options, see olwm(1).
OPTIONS
There is one new option to olvwm.
-allowSynthetic
Allow the receipt of synthetic events. Note that this
argument only permits synthetic events to be enabled;
whether or not synthetic events are delivered is con-
trolled via the SyntheticEvents resource variable.
TERMINOLOGY
Throughout this manual, the following terms are used:
Screen:
This refers to a specific monitor; essentially, there
is one screen for every monitor run by your worksta-
tion. Each monitor has a view into a particular desk-
top. In X terminology, this is the screen component of
a particular display.
Desktop:
This refers to the entire area in which windows can
reside on a given screen. In non-virtual window
managers, a desktop and a screen are the same size. In
a virtual window manager, though, a desktop is larger
than the screen.
VDM or Virtual Desktop Manager is the window which
represents visually the entire desktop: it provides a
scaled-down version of the entire desktop.
Logical Screen:
If the desktop is running in default mode, it will
display a grid, each square of which maps to the size
of the monitor. Each square is termed a logical
screen.
Current View:
is that part of the desktop which is currently
displayed on the screen; this will usually (but need
not always) correspond to a logical screen.
Virtual Window:
is a small rectangle displayed in the VDM; every window
on the desktop has a corresponding Virtual Window in
the VDM.
VIRTUAL DESKTOP MANAGER
When it is started, olvwm displays a virtual desktop manager
window. The VDM is a reduced display of all windows active
on the desktop at any time. The current view is outlined in
the virtual desktop manager. The VDM always appears on the
screen.
By default, the VDM (and hence the desktop) is divided into
a grid; each square of the grid represents a screen size.
The dividing lines between each logical screen are
represented by dashed lines in the VDM. This division into
logical screens is purely informational: if you like, win-
dows can straddle these boundaries, the current view into
the desktop can straddle these boundaries, and window can be
moved at will between these boundaries. However, by
default, most actions in the VDM will keep the current view
along these boundary lines.
EVENTS IN THE VDM
The processing of events within the VDM depends on whether
the mouse is pointing to the background area of the VDM or
to a particular virtual window within the VDM.
EVENTS ON VIRTUAL WINDOWS
Events which occur in a particular virtual window behave
just as if they were delivered to the corresponding
application's frame. Thus, pressing the MENU button over a
virtual window will bring up the frame menu and allow the
real (and virtual) windows to be opened, closed, resized,
etc. Pressing the SELECT button will select that real (and
virtual) window; pressing the ADJUST button will add (or
subtract) that window from the selection list. Pressing the
FRONT or OPEN keys will raise/lower or open/close the real
(and virtual) window.
SELECTing and dragging one or more virtual windows will move
the real and virtual windows (just as in olwm). Note that
if you drag the mouse outside of the VDM, the window can be
moved onto to the screen. Conversely, when dragging a win-
dow on the screen, if the mouse moves into the VDM, the
window will then be moved to the location on the displayed
within the VDM. However, if part of the VDM is obscured,
you cannot move a window into that part of the VDM.
Note that events are delivered ONLY to the real
application's frame. Thus, typing characters or the
COPY/CUT/PASTE keys has no effect.
It is possible to drop something onto a virtual window as if
it were dropped onto the corresponding application; this
allows you to, for example, drag a file from the mailtool on
the screen to a file manager on another part of the desktop.
EVENTS ON THE VDM BACKGROUND
Events on the VDM background all work to change the current
view, bringing windows which were formerly outside of the
current view onto the screen (and moving windows which were
on the screen outside of the current view). Keyboard events
are described given the default Sun Type-4 keyboard map-
pings, but you can use xmodmap to set up your particular
keyboard.
Keyboard Events:
The arrow keys (and other keys) can be used to shift
the current view in the direction specified. See the
section on ADDITIONAL KEY BINDINGS below. Keyboard
events are also active if they occur on the root window
in addition to the VDM background.
SELECT
mouse events: SELECTing on the VDM background allows
you to drag the current view within the VDM. If the
VirtualGrid resource is set to Visible or Invisible,
movement of the visible region will be constrained to
logical screen boundaries unless the CTRL button is
pressed before and held while dragging the mouse. If
the VirtualGrid resource is set to None, movement of
the visible region will be unconstrained unless the
CTRL button is pressed before and held while dragging
the mouse.
DOUBLE CLICK
SELECT events: Double clicking the SELECT button on an
area in the VDM background will move the current view
to the logical screen containing the point where the
mouse was double-clicked.
MENU mouse events: The MENU button brings up a (pinnable)
menu which will allow movement based on full screen
sizes in the direction indicated.
RESIZING THE VIRTUAL DESKTOP
You can use the resize corners on the VDM to resize the vir-
tual desktop at will. If you make the virtual desktop
smaller, windows which might be off the new virtual desktop
will NOT be moved (though they will not be lost, either, and
you can get them back by resizing the desktop again). Space
added or subtracted is always done so from the right and
bottom of the desktop (regardless of which resize corner you
used).
STICKY WINDOWS
You'll notice that the virtual desktop manager never moves
on your screen if you change views into the desktop. That's
because the VDM is permanently "sticky."
Windows which are "sticky" never move position on the screen
when you change your view into the desktop. To set a par-
ticular window as sticky, simply select "Stick" in its frame
menu. You may similarly unstick the window via its menu.
[Note: Only base frames--those which can be iconified, as
opposed to those which have a pushpin--are eligible to
become sticky; other frames inherit the stickyness of their
base frames. Thus, for most applications, either all win-
dows are sticky or none of them are. The exception to this
is applications which create two or more base frames; all
base frames will be originally created as "unsticky" (but
see the VirtualSticky resource below).]
CHANGES TO THE WINDOW MENU
The window menu of all windows has all the tools defined in
olwm. In addition, the menu of base windows has the follow-
ing command
Stick/Unstick
Affect the stickyness of the particular window. Win-
dows which are sticky will always appear in the same
place on the screen no matter which part of the virtual
desktop you're looking at. Windows which are not
sticky (by default, all windows except the VDM) will
move when you change the current view on the virtual
desktop.
CHANGES TO ROOT MENU
The following additional keywords can be used in the command
field of a root menu menu item:
COLUMNS
This specifies the number of columns you'd like the
menu to have. Each column within a menu will be filled
in order of the items in the menu. The menu name must
appear before this keyword, and the keyword itself must
appear before the end of the menu.
STICK_UNSTICK_SELN
This specifies that the sticky state of the selected
windows should be toggled.
WINMENU
brings up a pull-right menu containing the name of
every window on the current monitor (if olvwm is manag-
ing multiple monitors, only windows on the current mon-
itor will be shown). Windows which are iconified are
preceded with a graphic symbol. Selecting one of these
windows causes the view into the desktop to shift so
that the selected window is visible; the selected win-
dow will be opened if iconic and raised to the top of
the stacking order. This behavior can be altered; see
olvwmrc(5) for more details. You may specify the
number of columns in the pull-right menu by using a
number after the WINMENU keyword. By default, the
order of the menu is alphabetic; see the SortMenuType
resource below for more options.
DIRMENU
brings up a pull-right menu containing the name of
every file given in the named directory. This allows
you to use a local programs directory for a tool repo-
sitory; whenever tools are added to the directory,
users will see the new choices. The directory name may
contain environmental variables (e.g. $OPENWINHOME).
You may also specify a regular expression as the file
part of DIRMENU; e.g. $OPENWINHOME/bin/x* would display
only those programs in the openwindows bin directory
which begin with an x. Regular expressions do not
apply to the directory name; $OPENWINHOME/b*/x* is an
invalid DIRMENU entry.
X11 Bitmaps and Pixmaps
can be specified in the menu by specifying a filename
enclosed in <> brackets. The filename specified must
be in X11 bitmap form, XPM2 form (produced by
IconEdit), XPM3 form, or Gif format. You can mix bit-
map and string entries within a menu, though perhaps
menus look better if you do not.
MOVE_DESKTOP
specifies that olvwm should move the view to either the
logical screen specified after the MOVE_DESKTOP entry
(e.g. MOVE_DESKTOP 3 moves to the third logical screen)
or to the logical screen containing the point specified
after the MOVE_DESKTOP entry (e.g. MOVE_DESKTOP 2304 0
also moves to the third logical screen in a default
configuration).
Here is a version of the example olwm root menu specifica-
tion: the programs menu will have 2 columns; there will be
a way to find particular windows off the "Find" submenu (and
that menu will have 3 columns); whatever local tools are
available can be found in /usr/local; and the cmdtool option
will be displayed as an icon:
"My Custom Menu" TITLE
Programs MENU
Programs COLUMNS 2
</usr/openwin/include/X11/bitmaps/terminal> DEFAULT cmdtool
"Text Editor" textedit
Mail mailtool
"File Manager" filemgr
Other MENU
"Other Tools" TITLE
"Shell Tool" shelltool
"Icon Editor" iconedit
Clock clock
"Perf Meter" DEFAULT perfmeter
Other END
"Local Tools" DIRMENU /usr/local
Programs END PIN
"Repaint Screen" REFRESH
"Properties ..." PROPERTIES
"Find" WINMENU 3
Exit EXIT
MISCELLANEOUS NEW FEATURES
This section describes miscellaneous window manager features
which are not directly related to the virtual nature of
olvwm.
Upon receiving a USR1 signal, olvwm will execute a RESTART
function just like the restart function available from the
root menu.
The root workspace will not be repainted on exit if the
PaintWorkspace resource is False.
The olwm resource DefaultIconImage will now accept either an
X11 Bitmap file, a version 2 or 3 XPM image file or a GIF
file. If you use an image file, remember that the Defaul-
tIconMask must still be a X11 Bitmap; generally you will
want to create a full mask in that case.
The olwm resource WorkspaceBitmap will accept X11 Bitmap
files, version 2 or 3 XPM image files, or GIF files. The
MaxMapColors resource can restrict the number of colors
olvwm uses for each GIF file to help with colormap problems,
but in general, specifying more than 1 GIF file will lead to
colormap problems.
RESOURCES TO CONTROL THE VIRTUAL DESKTOP
See the man page for olwm for a complete description of
resources. All resources of class OpenWindows and olwm
described there are supported by olvwm. In addition, for
olvwm only, resources of instance "olvwm" are also read.
You can thus name the following resources as
olvwm.<resource>, olwm.<resource>, or as
OpenWindows.<resource> depending on your naming preference.
Resources marked with an * may be specified on a screen-by-
screen basis; e.g. olvwm.screen0.resource and
olvwm.screen1.resource, following the pattern in olwm.
VirtualDesktop (string)*
Specifies the size of the virtual desktop. You can
specify this in terms of screen sizes, so that a vir-
tual desktop of 3 screens across and 2 screens high
would appear as the string 3x2. You may also specify
this in terms of absolute pixel sizes, e.g. 3800x1800,
as long as the pixel size is greater than the size of
your framebuffer. Default value: 3x2
PannerScale (int)*
Sets the scale in which the virtual desktop manager
will be drawn. Default value: 15.
VirtualGeometry (string)*
Specifies the geometry string of the desktop manager in
standard X11 format (wxh+x+y). The width and height,
if specified, are ignored, but the x and y can be used
to specify the initial location of the desktop manager.
Default value: +0+0
VirtualIconGeometry (string)*
Specifies the geometry string of the desktop manager
icon in standard X11 format (wxh+x+y). The width and
height are ignored, but the x and y can be used to
specify the initial location of the desktop manager
icon. Default value: +0+0
VirtualIconic (Boolean)*
If true, the virtual desk manager will come up iconic.
Default value: False
AllowMoveIntoDesktop (Boolean)
If true, allows windows to be moved from the screen
into the VDM and vice versa. Otherwise, moving a win-
dow on the screen will only allow it to be placed in
the visible screen; and moving a window in the desktop
manager will not let it be dragged onto the screen.
Default value: True
AllowArrowInRoot (Boolean)
If true, then key events in the root window will affect
the VDM and thus move the view into the desktop (if the
appropriate key is pressed). Otherwise, only key
events when the VDM has the input event focus will have
an effect. Default value: True
VirtualFont (string)*
The font name used to display title of windows within
the virtual desktop manager. Default value: 5x8
VirtualFontColor (color specification)*
The color of the title within the virtual windows of
the virtual desktop manager. Default value: Black
VirtualBackgroundColor (color specification)*
The color of the background of the virtual desktop
manager. Default value: Based on the frame color of
your desktop.
VirtualForegroundColor (color specification)*
The color of the virtual windows in the virtual desktop
manager. Default value: The frame color of your desk-
top.
VirtualBackgroundMap (Pixmap filename)*
The name of a file containing a pixmap to use as the
background of the virtual desktop manager. This will
be drawn with the VirtualBackgroundColor as its back-
ground color and the VirtualPixmapColor as its fore-
ground color. The file can be either an X bitmap file,
a Z Pixmap file, or a Gif file. Color reduction can be
carried out on these images by specifying the MaxMap-
Colors resource. If the file is NOT a bitmap file the
virtual desktop window title is changed to be the
filename part of the file and the Maximum Size window
hint is set to the dimensions of the pixmap. Default
value: unused
MaxMapColors (number of colors)*
This integer value specifies the maximum number of
colors that olvwm will try and allocate for the Virtu-
alBackgroundMap. If the actual number of colors in the
pixmap is greater, the colors are remapped to this
number using a 'best match' algorithm (Heckbert Median
Cut). Default value: 200
VirtualPixmapColor (color specification)*
See above; this value only applies when the Virtual-
BackgroundMap has depth 1. Default value: white
VirtualSticky (list of strings)
The list of windows which should be sticky by default.
Like the olwm MinimalDecor, this should be the list
windows which should be sticky when they are created.
The matching of these strings is done by the first word
of the window's WM_NAME (string in its title bar), or
by its WM_CLASS class/instance variables. Default
value: Null
RelativePosition (Boolean)
If true, then user-specified window co-ordinates are
assumed to be relative to the current view into the
desktop; otherwise they are absolute with respect to
the desktop. Setting to true will not allow you to
bring up windows outside your current view (unless you
specify very large or negative numbers), and setting to
false will break some programs which save window states
in an odd manner. You can defeat this variable on
startup of applications by specifying which screen they
should start on; see olvwmrc(5). Default value: True
VirtualGrid (Visible, Invisible, or None)*
This controls two aspects of the VDM: If it's visible
or invisible, the grid is on (but it's only drawn if
it's visible). If it's None, the grid is off. If the
grid is on, the VDM may only be resized in logical
screen-sized increments. Otherwise, it may resized to
arbitrary sizes. If the grid is on, SELECT/dragging
the mouse within the VDM will constrain the move to
logical screens (unless the CTRL button is held down);
if the grid is off, moving the visible screen region
with SELECT/drag will be unconstrained (unless the CTRL
button is held down). Default value: Visible
VirtualGridColor (color specification)
If the VirtualGrid is Visible, it will be drawn in this
color. Default value: Same as VirtualFontColor
VirtualRaiseVDM (Boolean)
If this is true, the VDM will always appear on top of
the stacking order, never to be obscured by other win-
dows. Default value: False
VirtualMoveGroup (Boolean)
If true, then whenever a window is moved to a different
logical screen, then all followers of that window will
also be moved a similar amount: this affects the
window's icon and popups. In this way, icons and pop-
ups will always appear on the same logical screen as
their corresponding base frame. Otherwise, only the
selected windows will move when you move them, and
related windows could possibly appear on different log-
ical screens in the desktop. The trigger for changing
between logical screens is the window's mid-point; all
windows in the group will appear on the same logical
screen as the mid-point of the moved window. Default
value: True
UseImages (UseNone, UseVDM, or UseAll)
If set to UseNone, then window frame menus and the VDM
motion menu will be text-based. If set to UseVDM, the
window frame menus will be text-based, but the VDM
motion menu will be a graphic menu. If set to UseAll,
the window frame menus will be text- and image-based,
and the VDM motion menu will be image-based. Default
value: UseVDM
SortMenuType (Enum)
This option controls how windows appearing in the WIN-
MENU command are sorted. If it is set to Alphabetic,
then windows will be sorted alphabetically by name. If
it is set to Youngest, then windows will be sorted from
youngest to oldest. Default value: Alphabetic
VirtualDrawSticky (True)
If this option is set, sticky windows will have their
virtual windows drawn in the VDM just like any other
window. If it is false, then sticky windows will not
have their virtual windows drawn in the VDM. Default
value: True
StickyIcons (Boolean)
When set, StickyIcons will cause all non-sticky windows
to become sticky when iconified. This makes all icons
visible on every screen. All windows made sticky when
iconified will become unsticky when reopened. Default
value: False
StickyIconScreen (Boolean)
StickyIconScreen, when used in conjunction with Sticky-
Icons, will cause all iconified windows that are made
sticky to remember the screen on which they were
closed. When one of these windows is reopened the user
will be warped back to the screen from which the window
was closed and the window is made unsticky. Default
value: False
FreeIconSlots (Boolean)
By default, when an icon is created, it has that icon
position forever (unless it is moved manually), even
when the window is not iconified. This results in
potentially large gaps in the icon area when lots of
little programs are run (clocks, load averages, etc)
which are rarely iconified. When this resource is true
and a window is opened, if the icon position what not
set manually the slots are freed. The effect is that
iconified windows pack together in the corner specified
by IconPlacement. If you move an icon manually, it
maintains that position. Default value: False
UniqueIconSlots (Boolean)
This resource, when set to true, prevents icons from
overlapping. If you move an icon into icon grid
slot(s) occupied by other icons, those icons move. If
those other icons were positioned manually, they are no
longer viewed as manually placed (unless, of course,
they are subsequently manually placed) Default value:
False
IconGridHeight (Integer)
IconGridWidth (Integer) Previously the size of the icon
grid was fixed. An icon takes up a number of grid
slots, depending on it's size, and is aligned with the
lower left corner of its lower left grid slot. Chang-
ing the size of the grid changes how icons arrange
themselves. Default value: 13 for each
ADDITIONAL MISCELLANEOUS RESOURCES
These resources are not related specifically to the VDM, but
are included as new features within olvwm.
InputFocusColor (color specification)*
Specifying this attribute means that the frame of the
window which currently has the input focus should be
drawn in the color specified instead of in the normal
frame color. The appearance of the title bar (with
lines or indentation, depending on your input focus
mode) will remain unchanged. Default value: None (Use
standard frame color)
RaiseOnMove (Boolean)
If this is True, then whenever a window is moved, it is
also raised to the top of the stacking order. Default
value: False
AutoShowRootMenu (Boolean)
If true, the root menu will come up pinned at start up.
Default value: False
AutoRootMenuX (int)
If AutoShowRootMenu is true, this is the X location
where the menu will come up. Default value: 0
AutoRootMenuY (int)
If AutoShowRootMenu is true, this is the Y location
where the menu will come up. Default value: 0
FullSizeZoomX (Boolean)
If this is set to True, then selecting Full Size from
the window menu will zoom the window horizontally as
well as vertically. Default value: False
NoDecor (list of strings)
Like Minimal Decor, this attribute takes a list of win-
dows on which to operate; these windows should not be
decorated at all. There is a slight difference between
this attribute and setting the override_redirect flag
on a window: the latter causes olvwm to ignore com-
pletely the window, while this attribute does not adorn
the window or give it a menu, but still allows it to be
manipulated via the WINMENU and Hot Key actions. Nor-
mal olwm keys are ignored by these windows, however.
ResizeMoveGeometry (X geometry string or the word center)
This resource only has an effect if ShowMoveGeometry
and/or ShowResizeGeometry is set to True. This string
specifies the location of the geometry box when it is
displayed; it should be given as an X geometry string
(wxh+x+y) although the width and height are ignored if
specified. If you want the box to be centered regard-
less of your monitor resolution, use the string center
instead of a geometry string. Default value: +0+0
PaintWorkspace (Boolean)
If true, olvwm will paint the root workspace with the
color of the WorkspaceColor resource. If False, olvwm
will not change root workspace. Default value: True
PointerWorkspace (Boolean)
If true, olvwm will change the cursor when it is over
window frames and other olvwm-owned windows. If False,
olvwm will not change the cursor. This is useful in
conjunction with xsetroot -cursor if you want the
specified cursor to be active over frames. Default
value: True
SaveWorkspaceCmd (String)
If set, this is the command that will be run when the
SAVE_WORKSPACE command is selected off the main menu.
Otherwise, the default command is run. Default value:
owplaces -silent -multi -script -tw -output
$HOME/.openwin-init
SyntheticEvents (boolean)
This resource controls the delivery of synthetic
events. This resource is only valid if the -allowSyn-
thetic argument was given to olvwm on startup; if that
argument was present and this resource is set to True,
then olvwm will process synthetic events. Otherwise,
synthetic events are ignored. Default value: False
ParentScreenPopup (Boolean)
If true the popups are placed on the same screen as
their parent even if the parent is not currently visi-
ble. Otherwise popups always appear on the current
screen. A suggested method is to place the following
lines at the end of your .xinitrc file (before the
final wait command):
xrdb -merge <<'EOF'
olvwm.ParentScreenPopup: False
EOF
In this way, your session will initialize with all pop-
ups with their parents but subsequenct popups will
appear on the current screen. Default value:
True
CURSOR RESOURCES
These set of resources change the default cursors the window
manager gives certain classes it creates, such as resize
buttons, close buttons, frames, icons, etc. The <cursor
string> is described as follows:
<cursor font name> <cursor index> [<fore color> [<back
color>]]
where options enclosed in []'s are optional. If the <back
color> is left out, the default back color (which, in this
version of OLVWM, is white) is used. If the <fore color> is
left out, then the default cursor (foreground) color is
used, which is black by default, unless set by the cursor-
Color resource (see below). Note that to supply the <back
color>, you must supply the <fore color>. Also, if the
color name you provide is invalid, OLVWM will return to the
default colors, as described above. As per usual with
resources, no errors are reported. The cursor font is
assumed to be encoded so that the valid mask for the cursor
follows the cursor index in the font; this is the usual
behavior for font files.
There is an alternate form of <cursor string>:
<cursor name> [<fore color> [<back color>]]
where <cursor name> is either the name of the X cursor as
defined in cursorfont.h (eg: XC_X_cursor, XC_cross, etc.),
or the name of an OPEN LOOK cursor as defined in olcursor.h
(e.g.: OLC_basic, OLC_busy).
The valid <cursor>s are:
CursorBasic
Specify the root window cursor. Default: Basic Pointer
(arrow pointing NW)
CursorMove
Specify the cursor when a window is moved. Default:
Basic Pointer
CursorBusy
Specify the cursor for when a window is "busy".
Default: Busy Pointer (pocket watch)
CursorIcon
Specify cursor for the icon windows. Default: Basic
Pointer
CursorResize
Specify cursor for the resize buttons and when window
is being "rubber-band" resized. Default: Bull's Eye
CursorMenu
Specify cursor for menu windows. Default: Basic
Pointer
CursorTarget
Specify cursor for window frames. Default: Basic
Pointer
CursorCloseUp
Specify cursor for close button, when NOT pressed (the
button is UP). Default: Basic Pointer
CursorCloseDown
Specify cursor for close button, when pressed (the but-
ton is DOWN). Default: Basic Pointer
move>]
CursorSpecialResize <Bool> [<fg corner> <bg corner> <fg move> <bg
This is a special Cursor resource which turns on spe-
cialized resize cursors. If <Bool> is false, then the
cursor for the resize button decorations and the
"rubber-band" window are all specified by
"Cursor.Resize" as discussed above. If <Bool> is true,
then the following modifications are turned on: When
the cursor is within the resize button decorations on a
frame, the cursor becomes a corner of the appropriate
orientation. When the button is selected and the win-
dow is being "rubber-band" resized, the cursor becomes
the appropriate corner with an appropriately oriented
arrow. The colors that you can specify are limited to
prevent an obscene number of resources. You can
specify the colors (foreground and background) of the
cursors when placed in the resize decoration without
the mouse button down (described above as <fg corner>
and <bg corner>), and you can specify the colors of the
cursors when the mouse button is down the window is
being resized (described above as <fg move> and <bg
move>). Note that you must specify either all four
colors or no colors.
ADDITIONAL KEY BINDINGS
Like olwm, olvwm uses key bindings for certain actions: all
actions specified in olwm as well as an additional set of
actions to control the view into the desktop. In the fol-
lowing list, the key mentioned in parentheses is the default
binding for the given action; items marked with a plus sign
'+' are items which exist in olwm; they are included here to
describe what action they have when they occur on the root
window or within the VDM. All other bindings are specific
to olvwm; those items marked with an asterisk '*' involve
keyboard grabs. Bindings which involve a keyboard grab
(those with an asterisk) are always active, no matter where
the input focus is; otherwise the action occurs only if the
root window or the VDM has the input focus.
It's possible to change each of these bindings, see the olwm
man page for more details.
GrabVirtualKeys " (Boolean)"
This resource controls whether the keys below marked as
involving grabs will be active or not. If this
resource is set to False, then none of the bindings
marked below with an asterisk will ever be active.
Default value: True
Up (up-arrow) +

customizations. These customizations allow the following:
HOT KEYS
You can specify that when a certain key (or, more
likely, key in combination with modifiers) is pressed
that certain actions are performed: you can warp to a
particular application, open, raise, or close applica-
tions, execute applications, and quit applications.
SCREEN BINDINGS
You can specify that certain applications will always
start on a particular logical screen.
MENU OPTIONS
You can alter the behaviour of WINMENU selections on a
particular window.
Please see olvwmrc(5) for details of these options.

CREDITS
Most of the code in this application comes from release 3.0
of olwm, authored at Sun Microsystems and distributed in the
contrib section of MIT's X11R5. [Note that nothing in
xview3 or release 3.0 requires R5; they will happily run on
R4 and exist in R5 simply because that's when they were
released.]
The virtual desktop section was authored by Scott Oaks, who
is responsible for its maintenance. Please direct any com-
ments to scott.oaks@sun.com. This code is not supported by
Sun Microsystems in any way.
Notwithstanding the above, the staff at Sun Microsystems,
and especially Stuart Marks, deserve credit as original
author of olwm for most of the work contained in this appli-
cation.
Innumerable people have made fixes and enhancements to
olvwm, and I'm very bad at listing them all (but drop me a
note and I'll do better in a future release :-)). Thus, the
following list is by no means comprehensive, but these peo-
ple have all provided something to olvwm: Tor Arntsen, Paul
Andrews, Rich Berlin, David Boyd, David Chase, John Durand,
Alexander Dupuy, Paul Eggert, Eric Fifer, Duane Gibson,
Jimmy Guggemos, Orest Jarosiewicz, Russel Kegley, Murray
Laing, Tom McConnell, Blair MacIntyre, Chuck Musciano,
Matthias Pfuetzner, David Plotkin, Harry Protoolis, Nir Sam-
burski, Andreas Stolcke, Hinrich Tobaben, Larry Virden, Ken
West, and Ron Winacott.
