The latest svn version of fluxbox doesn't group applications from the groups file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. for example, put the line "gvim gvim" in ~/.fluxbox/groups 2. start gvim twice on same workspace 3. Actual Results: new gvim window opens every time I start gvim on the same workspace Expected Results: expected a new tab (internal) if an existing gvim is on the same workspace Fluxbox 1.0rc3-svn-4944-gentoo : (c) 2001-2007 Henrik Kinnunen Compiled: Jun 30 2007 11:54:08 Compiler: GCC Compiler version: 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2) Defaults: menu: /usr/share/fluxbox/menu style: /usr/share/fluxbox/styles/Clean keys: /usr/share/fluxbox/keys init: /usr/share/fluxbox/init Compiled options (- => disabled): -DEBUG EWMH -GNOME IMLIB2 -KDE -NLS REMEMBER RENDER SHAPE -SLIT TOOLBAR XFT -XINERAMA XMB XPM emerge --info Portage 2.1.2.7 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r3, 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-28 Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 00:50:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r3, 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.23b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -msse2 -msse3 -m3dnow" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -msse2 -msse3 -m3dnow" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.swin.edu.au/gentoo http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo http://mirror.isp.net.au/ftp/pub/gentoo/" LANG="sv_SE@euro" LC_ALL="sv_SE@euro" LINGUAS="sv sv_SE en_GB" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.au.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acpi aiglx alsa amd64 arts bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts browserplugin bzip2 cairo cdparanoia cdr clamav cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd evdev fam ffmpeg firefox flac gdbm gif gimpprint gmp gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal iconv ieee1394 imagemagick imlib ipod ipv6 isdnlog java javascript jbig joystick jpeg lcms ldap libg++ mad midi mikmod mime mng mono motif mp3 mpeg mplayer mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp oscar oss pam pcre pda pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime rar readline reflection sdl session slang slp sockets socks5 spell spl ssl svg tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb vcd vorbis wifi wmf xml xml2 xorg xpm xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse ps2mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="sv sv_SE en_GB" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev fglrx vesa vmware" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
I have alerted upstream of this bug, it should be fixed soon, whereupon I will release a new snapshot. But there's a workaround - The groups file is actually deprecated... you can do the same job (and more besides) in the apps file. Here's more info: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_edit_the_apps_file The groups file isn't actually supposed to be going away until after the actual 1.0 release.
That was fast... a quick fix from upstream and a new SVN snapshot. This is fixed in fluxbox-1.0_rc3_p4949 Big thanks to _markt in #fluxbox for the excellent and quick fix.
