Package: xfwm4
Version: 4.8.1-3
Severity: normal
Hi.
Due to some other bug (#632030) I needed to restart xfwm4 in a running session.
Neither xfwm4's man file nor the documentation (NOT
at/usr/share/xfce4/doc/C/xfwm4.html as the man file claims; #632709) hava a
comprehensive documentation of all available command line options as it seems.
I found something via Google; i.e.
These are in /usr/share/doc/xfwm4/html/C/index.html :
--daemon
start xfwm4 in the background
--enable-compositor=[on|off]
To enable the compositor xfwm4 has to be built with the --enable-
compositor option. If that was done, using the command line option --enable-
compositor=off will disable the compositor on startup (is =on the default if
use of the compositor was compiled into xfwm4?)
I found this on the internet:
xfwm4 --replace
start a new instance to replace the already running one (I guess - or
does it replace other window managers, too?)
http://swoolley.org/man.cgi/1/xfwm has a couple of options for an old version
of xfwm (it's an old man file actually)
It would be splendid if there was a comprehensive list of options integrated
with the man file or the HTML doc.
Kind regards
Andreas
