NAME

       FvwmDragWell - A XDND drag well

SYNOPSIS

       FvwmDragWell

       FvwmDragWell  is a Xdnd drag well.  The user sends the data and type to
       the drag well via a fvwm SendToModule command.  The drag well indicates
       that  it  received the information via a crude animation.  The user may
       then drag the information from the  well  to  other  applications  that
       support  the Xdnd standard.  The fvwm module FvwmWharf accepts drops of
       type "text/uri-list".

INITIALIZATION

       During initialization, FvwmDragWell gets config info from fvwm’s module
       configuration  database (see fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS).  If the
       FvwmDragWell  executable  is  linked  to  another  name,  i.e.  ln   -s
       FvwmDragWell  OtherDragWell,  then  another module called OtherDragWell
       can  be  started,  with  a  completely  different  configuration   than
       FvwmDragWell,   simply   by   changing   the  keyword  FvwmDragWell  to
       OtherDragWell. This way multiple FvwmDragWell programs may be used.

USE

       Data is sent to the module from fvwm using  the  SendToModule  Command.
       The form of the send to module command is:

       SendToModule modulename dragtype type-string, dragdata data

       type-string is a quoted string that declares the type of "data" and how
       the data will be exported.  The "typestring" string is converted to  an
       XAtom.   The  user  should use standard Mime type strings, all in lower
       case.  Note that the module does no data conversion.

       There is one exception to the above format.  If the datatype string  is
       omitted,  the  module  assumes  that  the  user  is  passing  a file or
       directory path.   In  this  case,  the  string  "file://$hostname/"  is
       prepended  to  the  data,  and  the data is exported as type "text/uri-
       list".

       Examples:

       SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragdata /usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0

       On  hostname  saturn,  the  drag  well  will  convert   the   data   to
       "file://saturn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0"  and  will export the data
       as type "text/uri-list".  The long form of this command would be

       SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragtype text/uri-list, \
            dragdata file://saturn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.3.8

INVOCATION

       FvwmDragWell must be invoked from fvwm, so no command  line  invocation
       will work.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       FvwmDragWell  reads the same .fvwm2rc file as fvwm reads when it starts
       up, and looks for certain configuration options:

       *FvwmDragWell: Geometry geometry
              Completely or partially specifies the Fvwm window  location  and
              geometry, in standard X11 notation. The default size is 48x48.

       *FvwmDragWell: DragWellGeometry geometry
              Specifies  the  geometry  of  the  drag  box in the FvwmDragWell
              window, in the standard X11 notation.  Default is 30x30+9+9

       *FvwmDragWell: Colorset  colorset
              The colorset is used for the background and shading of the  drag
              well.   See  the  man  page  of  FvwmTheme  for a description of
              colorsets.

       *FvwmDragWell: Fore Color
              The foreground color.  The default foreground color is grey60.

       *FvwmDragWell: Back Color
              The background color.  The default background color is black.

       *FvwmDragWell: Shadow Color
              The shadow color of the button relief.  The  default  foreground
              relief color is grey20.

       *FvwmDragWell: Hilite Color
              The  hilight  color of the button relief. The default background
              relief color is grey90.
