syster.fvwm2rc contains these lines: # Read system and user menu prefixes AddToMenu /Debian + "Main Menu" Title Read /etc/X11/fvwm2/main-menu-pre.hook Read .fvwm2/main-menu-pre.hook # Read the auto-generated menus Read /etc/X11/fvwm2/menudefs.hook Read .fvwm2/menudefs.hook It does that for all the hooks; reads in the system-wide hook, then the user's hook. You need to delete menudefs.hook and main-menu-pre.hook from ~/.fvwm2. The other hooks are empty (at least, they are on my system). > Also when running the dotfile fvwm2 module I am using the import from > dotefile option and am getting a error in TCL script message unexpected > token. I just tried it and got that error too. I don't know what the problem is. -- Matt Folwell, Trinity College, Cambridge. CB2 1TQ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
