           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
           Fvwm will search directory  specified  in  the  ModulePath
           configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmSaveDesk.
