RESOURCES

*background

The default background colour of a window. Since rolled-up windows always have a nonzero (one pixel) height, they will also need a background colour that is in keeping with the other windows (the X default 'no colour' is black).

Mwm*moveThreshold

This resource is used by mwm to control the sensitivity of dragging operations that move windows and icons, and borrowed by rizzle to control the amount of 'mouse wiggle' allowed when right-clicking a window's title bar. If the mwm value is not enough for rolling up windows, but you don't want to interfere with dragging operations, Rizzle*moveThreshold may be used instead. If neither is defined, the default is 4 (which is also the mwm default).

<Class>*isFragile

If True, prevents the specified window class being rolled up because the application owning it is known to exhibit strange or nasty behaviour when its windows disappear without its say-so.
If False, overrides the built-in assumption that this class is not safe to roll up. Use False only if you are sure your version of this known dodgy application is resistant to rollup problems (you lucky so and so).

RESOURCE RECIPES

To increase the 'wiggle margin' for both mwm (drag sensitivity) and rizzle (allowing for small mouse movement during right-clicks):

Mwm*moveThreshold: 6

Alternatively, to increase rizzle's 'wiggle margin' without affecting normal mwm operation:

Rizzle*moveThreshold: 6

If you don't want xcalc to be rolled up:

XCalc*isFragile: true

If you are really really really sure you can safely roll up the mwm icon box and unroll it again without crashing:

Mwm*isFragile: false

BUGS

Rolling up windows that have mapped transients sometimes causes the transients to be lost (i.e. they stay unmapped when the main window is restored). When a window with mapped transients is unmapped and remapped through some external means (e.g. the vdesk program), both the full-size and rollup window may come up at the same time. Transients are a right nuisance because we're constantly fighting against the window manager...
