NAME

       FvwmClean - the FVWM desktop clutter reduction module

SYNOPSIS

       FvwmClean is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.

DESCRIPTION

       The  FvwmClean  module  performs  actions on windows which have not had the keyboard focus for a specific
       length of time. This is intended to help alleviate the problem of  leaving  programs  running  in  unused
       portions of your desktop.

       FvwmClean  reads  the  same  .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines similar to
       "*FvwmNoClutter 3600 Iconify".

COPYRIGHTS

       The FvwmClean program, and the concept for interfacing  this  module  to  the  Window  Manager,  are  all
       original work by Robert Nation

       Copyright 1994, Robert Nation. No guarantees or warranties or anything are provided or implied in any way
       whatsoever. Use this program at your own risk. Permission to use this program for any purpose  is  given,
       as long as the copyright is kept intact.

INITIALIZATION

       During  initialization,  FvwmClean  will eventually search a configuration file which describes the time-
       outs and actions to take.  The configuration file is the same file that fvwm used during initialization.

       If the FvwmClean executable is linked to another name, ie ln  -s  FvwmClean  OtherClutter,  then  another
       module  called  OtherClutter  can  be  started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmClean,
       simply by changing the keyword  FvwmClean to OtherClutter. This way multiple  clutter-reduction  programs
       can be used.

INVOCATION

       FvwmClean can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module FvwmClean' in the .fvwmrc file. This can be placed
       on a line by itself, if FvwmClean is to be spawned during fvwm's initialization, or can  be  bound  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 FvwmClean.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       FvwmClean reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks  for  lines  similar  to
       "*FvwmClean  3600  Iconify". The format of these lines is "*FvwmClean [time] [command]", where command is
       any fvwm built-in command, and time is the time in seconds between when a window looses  focus  and  when
       the command is executed. At most 3 actions can be specified.
