3.1 How do I get new apps on the dock (The icon or line of icons
on the right side of the screen by default)
Launch an application. If there is a little icon that pops up in the bottom
corner of the screen, drag it over to the dock icon(s). You should see a whiteish square
indicating when it is close enough to dock, and where it will be placed. To make sure
this application will be there next time you start up windowmaker, exit windowmaker
with the "exit session" option.
3.2 What is the difference between the 'Exit' and 'Exit Session' Options?
Another Answer from Dan Pascu:
"'Exit' exits wmaker, but leaves the other apps running, and if wmaker was
not the last app launched in the .xinitrc the X server is not closed, until
the last app started by .xinitrc is closed.
'Exit session' will exit wmaker, but also will close all running apps,
thus the X server will be closed."
3.3 How do I "dock" AppIcons on the Clip?
Just drag icons near it like you would for the dock. If you are having a
problem docking icons, you should try moving the Clip away from the dock.
3.4 Why do none of my Key Bindings (ie: Alt+#) work in Window Maker 0.1x.x
If you are using XFree86, make sure scroll lock and numlock
are off or no bindings will work (XFree bug). You can try
using the XFree86 Numlock Hack by editing the line
#undef NUMLOCK_HACK in
$WindowMakerdir/src/wconfig.h and changing it to
#define NUMLOCK_HACK.
Note that this is not yet fully functional (if at all).
3.5 How do I rename workspaces?
Right click on the "desktop" (root window) to show the menu (don't hold the
button down). Go to the workspaces menu and hold the Control
key down and click on the workspace you would like to rename
and type the name.
If you use the clip, use the "Rename Workspace" command in the clip menu.
3.6 How can I resize a window if the window is larger than my currect desktop?
David Reviejo <dreviejo@arrakis.es> best summed up this answer:
- "Maybe you know:
Alt+Left click and drag
to move the window.
- Try this:
Alt+Right click and drag
to resize (by moving the nearest window corner)
- Another move/resize tip: while you are moving or resizing a window, you
can change the move/resize mode by pressing the SHIFT key."
3.7 How do I ``undock'' AppIcons?
If the program is not running, just drag the icon to the middle of your
desktop (away from the dock and clip) and watch it disappear.
If the program is running, hold down Meta (usually CTRL) and drag the icon off the dock.
You can also right click on it and choose 'Kill', then undock as usual.
