.SH "FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS"
.sp
Here are the answers!
.SH "1. GENERAL INFORMATION."
.SS "1\&.1 Q: What is FVWM\-Crystal?"
.sp
A: It\(cqs a set of FVWM configuration files, some Python and shell scripts, a set of application icons and images\&. This combination produces a fairly decent and customized Linux desktop using FVWM as it\(cqs basic component\&. With additional file managers, such as Thunar ROX\-Filer or Nautilus (from GNOME Project) you can create useable and good\-looking Linux desktop environment\&.
.SS "1\&.2 Q: Who are the authors?"
.sp
A: The original author FVWM\-Crystal is Maciej Delmanowski\&. You can contact with him using his e\-mail account <harnir@berlios\&.de> or through Jabber network <harnir@jabberek\&.net>\&.
.sp
The current author and maintener is Dominique Michel <dominique_libre@users\&.sourceforge\&.net>
.sp
FVWM\-Crystal could not be in the present state without the help of other people\&. You can find their list in the AUTHORS file included in the project\(cqs package\&.
.SS "1\&.3 Q: Where I can get the newest version?"
.sp
A: Newest stable version can be always found on the main FVWM\-Crystal website:

http://rox\&.sourceforge\&.net/
.RE
.SS "2\&.2 Q: Can I use FVWM\-Crystal with "stable" FVWM branch (2\&.4\&.x)?"
.sp
A: No\&. Old FVWM version (so called "stable") is in fact, old\&. Even 2\&.5\&.x series which has many improvements over the old stable tree is old now, for example support for PNG images, new modules, improvements in existing modules and bugfixes\&.
.sp
From FVWM 2\&.6\&.x, all releases are stable and 2\&.7 is outdated\&.
.sp
Due to the introduction of infostore in FVWM and its use in FVWM\-Crystal, you will need FVWM 2\&.6\&.5+\&.
.SS "2\&.3 Q: How to install FVWM\-Crystal from distributed packages?"
.sp
A: Unpack fvwm\-crystal\-X\&.Y\&.tar\&.gz to an empty directory\&. After that cd into unpacked directory and execute:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
make install
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
By default Crystal will be installed in /usr/local directory\&. You can select destination directory using:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
make prefix=/usr install
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
After successful installation you can copy sample \fB~/\&.Xresources\fR file from \fBaddons/\fR directory of the FVWM\-Crystal package, if you don\(cqt have one\&. A Xsession desktop file will be installed into /usr/share/xsessions, so any graphical login manager should be able to select FVWM\-Crystal as your desktop\&.
.SS "2\&.4 Q: How to install FVWM\-Crystal from subversion repository?"
.sp
A: You need to create a local copy of a darcs repository by issuing command:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
svn co svn://svn\&.code\&.sf\&.net/p/fvwm\-crystal/code/ fvwm\-crystal
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
When it finishes, cd into newly created \fIfvwm\-crystal/\fR directory and issue commands:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
make install
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
You can change the destination directory as described above\&.
.SS "2\&.5 Q: How to install FVWM\-Crystal manually?"
.sp
A: Parts of FVWM\-Crystal configuration needs to have executable bit on, and it\(cqs set by the make script\&. If you can\(cqt or don\(cqt want to use it, you can installa FVWM\-Crystal manually\&. Unpack the distributed package or get a copy of the subversion repository as described above, then issue commands below:
.sp
Note: This answer is obsolete but can get you started\&. Read the Makefile if it doesn\(cqt work\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
cd fvwm\-crystal
chmod a+rx bin/*
chmod \-R a+rx fvwm/Applications
chmod a+rx fvwm/scripts/FvwmMPD/*\&.py fvwm/scripts/FvwmMPD/*\&.sh
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
Now put all files from \fBfvwm/\fR directory in the chosen configuration directory\&. If you want to install FVWM\-Crystal in your $HOME directory, put the configuration files in ~/\&.fvwm\-crystal directory (without the \fIfvwm/\fR subdirectory!)\&. Startup script will use them automatically\&.
.sp
You can also copy ~/\&.Xresources or fvwm\-crystal\&.desktop as described above\&.
.SS "2\&.6 Q: How I can select FVWM\-Crystal as my window manager?"
.sp
A: If you are using \fBstartx\fR for running your X session, copy the file \fBaddons/Xsession\fR from FVWM\-Crystal package to your ~/\&.Xsession or ~/\&.xinitrc file\&. In other words, you need to start \fBfvwm\-crystal\fR script, \fBfvwm\fR or \fBfvwm2\fR will not work, because FVWM\-Crystal has it\(cqs main configuration files in different place than FVWM\&.
.sp
If you are using a graphical login manager like \fBGDM\fR, just select \fBFVWM\-Crystal\fR in the Session menu\&.
.SS "2\&.7 Q: When I start FVWM\-Crystal I get only the empty FVWM desktop\&..."
.sp
A: Make sure that you have correct path to the system\-wide configuration files in \fBfvwm\-crystal\fR script\&. Also check if in your ~/\&.Xsession or ~/\&.xinitrc the last line contains \fBexec fvwm\-crystal\fR\&. Select \fBFVWM\-Crystal\fR as your session in GDM, \fBFVWM\fR will not work\&.
.SS "2\&.8 Q: Why there is no application panel on the desktop?"
.sp
A: Do you have Python installed? Is \fBfvwm\-crystal\&.apps\fR script in a directory listed in $PATH environment variable? All files in Crystal\(cqs Application Database needs to have \fBexecutable\fR bit set (all files are actually scripts)\&. You can set it by issuing command:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
chmod \-R a+rx <installpath>/Applications
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.SH "3. USAGE"
.SS "3\&.1 Q: Where can I start some prefered application at startup?"
.sp
A: Copy the file \fB/usr/share/fvwm\-crystal/fvwm/preferences/Startup\fR to \fB~/\&.fvwm\-crystal/preferences/Startup\fR and add yours commands here\&.
.SS "3\&.2 Q: Where can I add my prefered fvwm command?"
.sp
A: You want to use some custom styles, keybindings or so, or to replace existing ones\&. Create the file
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
~/\&.fvwm\-crystal/userconfig
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
and add them here\&.
.sp
Good candidates are
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf

.fi
.if n \{\

.sp
that will show information when moving/resizing windows, or
.sp
.if n \{\

.\}
.nf
Key Tab A $[Mod1] Window\-Ring\-Next
Key Tab A $[Mod2] Window\-Ring\-Previous
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
will circulate focus trough open windows\&.
.SS "3\&.3 Q: How can I have a tear off menu?"
.sp
A: When in the menu you want to tear off, press the backspace key\&. To remove the menu, press escape\&. This is a standard FVWM feature\&. See \fBman fvwm\fR\&.
.SS "3\&.4 Q: How can I record medias with mplayer?"
.sp
A: Recording with mplayer produce a stream dump\&. Such a dump is unusable for anything else than MPEG streams\&. Dump only MPEG sources\&. When watching such a sources, press "c" and mplayer will begin to make a stream dump to the file ~/stream\&.dump\&.
.sp
Press "c" again to stop capturing\&. You can use Kino to edit this file\&.
.SS "3\&.5 Q: The Music menu get screwed\&. What can I do about this?"
.sp
A: According to Thomas Adam, auto\-generated menus in FVWM are very sensitive to special characters\&. You must change all the special characters in the directories and folders names where FVWM will search for your media files\&.
.SS "3\&.6 Q: Mplayer doesn\(cqt show the movie I selected into the menu\&. Why?"
.sp
A; You are watching something else\&. The file(s) was just added into mplayer\(cqs internal playlist\&. Press Enter or chosse Next in the menu\&. Only the DVB and DVD sources will play instantly\&.
.SS "3\&.7 Q: Mplayer is flaky\&. What can I do?"
.sp
A: Try another video output\&. For that, edit ~/\&.mplayer/config and put a line like \fBvo=xv\fR or \fBvo=gl\fR\&. \fBmplayer \-vo help\fR will show you a list\&.
.sp
In the worst case (Fvwm\-Crystal is unusable), go to one of the primary console with \fBCtrl + Alt + F<n>\fR, login and issue a \fBkillall \-9 mplayer\fR\&.
.sp
With \fBAlt + F7\fR, you will go back to Fvwm\-Crystal\&.
.sp
You can also try a different X graphic driver\&. For that, you must follow the documentation of your GNU/Linux distribution, install the wanted driver and edit the configuration of your X server\&.
.SS "3\&.8 Q: How to change FVWM\-Crystal key bindings that collide with Emacs or Ardour?"
.sp
A: With Emacs and Ardour, the problem is the Alt key\&. You must change this keyboard modifier\&. From FVWM\-Crystal\-3\&.2\&.8, you may use the Key Binding Modifiers Editor located into the preferences menu\&.
.sp
With older versions, copy

edit it and change \fBSetEnv Mod1 M\fR to \fBSetEnv Mod1 4\fR, and \fBSetEnv Mod2 MS\fR to \fBSetEnv Mod 2 4S\fR to use the windows key\&.
.sp
You may want to also change \fBSetEnv SelectOnReleaseKey Alt_L\fR to \fBSetEnv SelectOnReleaseKey Super_L\fR\&.
.sp
From FVWM\-Crystal\-3\&.2\&.7, you may use the Key Binding Modifiers Editor located into the preferences menu\&.
.SS "3\&.9 Q: What do I need to do to create my own personal recipe(s)?"
.sp
A: Create the directory ~/\&.fvwm\-crystal/recipes and put your recipe(s) in it\&. After restrarting FWM\-Crystal from its main menu, you will get 2 choices in the preferences recipes menu: system and user\&.
.SS "3\&.10 Q: How to customize the application menu?"
.sp
A: First, take a look at the documentation: Main FVWM\-Crystal menu → FVWM\-Crystal documentation → Application Database\&.
.sp
The application menu use a priority system based on the file name\&.
.sp
With the default priority of 0, the file name will begin with prog_name\fB\&. By renaming it to 10\fR\fBprog_name\fR, you will give it a more important priority than prog2\fB, and less priority than 20\fR\fBprog3\fR
.sp
FVWM\-Crystal comme with a collection a preconfigured menu entries\&. You will find them in /usr/fvwm\-crystal/fvwm/applications/* and can copy them into ~/\&.fvwm\-crystal/applications/* for customization\&.
.sp
In the preferences, you can tell FVWM\-Crystal to generate the application menu entries for the non provided entries\&. It will place them into ~/\&.fvwm\-crystal/applications/*
.sp
This function use the desktop files provided by the applications\&. If the application doesn\(cqt provide any desktop file, you will have to create your own menu entry and will find many examples in the provided FVWM\-Crystal files\&.
.SS "3\&.11 Q: How to get a consistant look between toolkits?"
.sp
A: This is not related to FVWM\-Crystal, but anyway, the look of the applications can be a little bit difficult to configure if you don\(cqt have Gnome and KDE installed, and don\(cqt know how to proceed\&.
.sp
First, you must install lxappearance and qtconfig\&. At that time of writing (May 2013), lxappearance have a bug that imply any custom color change will be lost\&. But anyway, it is the best light application to change the GTK+ themes, icons, etc\&. If you want to customize the colors, you can always edit ~/\&.gtkrc\-2\&.0 directly\&.
.sp
After selecting your favorite GTK+ theme with lxappearance, run qtconfig to select the Default theme to use the system settings, or the GTK+ style to apply your GTK+ settings to QT\&.
.SS "3\&.12 Q: Mounting/unmounting don\(cqt work with all medias?"
.sp
A: FVWM\-Crystal dekstop manager use mount, umount for the "regular" partitions and pmount for the removable medias\&. It also support pmount\-gui for the removable medias\&.
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
For the "regular" partitions, they must be configured in /etc/fstab, and you must have the right to mount them\&. mount/umount will be used\&. For example:
.RE
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
/dev/sdb1  /mnt/work  ext4  users,noatime  0 2
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
For the USB and Firewire devices, you can add entries for them in /etc/fstab\&. mount/umount will be used\&. For example:
.RE
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
/dev/sdd1  /mnt/usb  ext3  users,noatime  0 2
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
They will be mounted at boot and the users tag will let you mount and umount them as user\&.
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
For the USB and Firewire devices not present in the fstab, you must install pmount\&. pmount\-gui is also supported\&. They will be mounted in /media\&. You mwy want to install uam too\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
For the CD/DVD devices and much more, install and configure autofs\&.
.RE
.SS "3\&.13 Q: The Feedback/Support form just close when I click on any button?"
.sp
A: This form use the BROWSER variable\&. If it don\(cqt exist, FVWM\-Crystal will launch a dialog where you can set it, that at start time\&. If it is set to a wrong value, the will use it and do nothing\&.
.sp
You can set it in your ~/\&.bashprofile file:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
export BROWSER "/usr/bin/firefox"
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
or change the value in the file ~/\&.fvwm\-crystal/preferences/BROWSER\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
SetEnv BROWSER /usr/bin/firefox
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
