You say FVWM runs it? so look in the fvwm config and see how it does it.
You type man fvwm, and that tells you that fvwm is started from
~/.Xclients or
~/.Xinitrc. A look in your home dir and you find on RedHat, .Xclients,
in it, you see that fvwm gets it's options by reading a file in
/etc/X11/AnotherLevel,
A look in that file, and you see that that file reads all the other
files in that dir. Here, I admit, it does get a bit non-obvious,
reading/editing those files.
In fact even though I figured out how to get them to do what I want, I
hate
them. They make certain things a little quicker, at the expense of
making
others almost impossible. In the particular case of netscape, it's even
more queer in AnotherLevel than other apps. Most apps have a file in
/etx/X11/
wmconfig (only on RedHat5) which they are pretty easy to figure out, but
RedHat
has a thing in /etc/X11/AnotherLevel/.fvwm2rc.apps that looks for a few
apps. Netscape is one. Of course, it will only find it if it was
installed via the rpm.
but thats a different gripe :)
To skip all that boring figuring out stuff for you, in
/etc/X11/AnotherLevel/.fvwm2rc.apps, is this line:
ifdef(`HAVEAPP_NETSCAPE', `+ "Netscape Navigator
MiniTitleIcon(netscape)" Exec n
etscape
&')
So, all it does is run netscape, no path. That means somewhere in your
regular
path (not including the stuff you've added since install) there is a
script
called netscape, that sets some environment variables, and runs the real
netscape. It's a very common thing to do in unix. so, remove the
netscape dir from your path,
and run that script.
