Ok, then you should refer to this thread: http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/archive/0102/msg00162.html http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/archive/0102/msg00231.html I thought this problem was fixed, but now I see notice that you asked Chris to take a look at the remaining part of the problem. > > I can't find any dying FvwmIconMan message in my 2001 archive. > > I only see the message where you ask about what to do with this problem: > > > > http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/archive/0106/msg00023.html > > Didn't you notice some problem with FvwmIconMan a few weeks ago? > At least I thought you had re-discovered the same problem. Sorry, I don't use FvwmIconMan on a regular basis, I only verify from time to time that the FvwmIconMan option, which some of our themes have, work. I reported that I got this, which may or may not be related: [FVWM][PositiveWrite]: <<ERROR>> Failed to read descriptor: - data available=N - terminate signal=N I patched some time ago fvwm to print a module name here and I saw that it is generated by my personal FvwmEvent-NewWindow module when I switch themes. The interesting thing is that FvwmEvent-NewWindow module is not killed and remains functional, so this is only a warning (!?) in my case. I turned off this module from StartFunction some time ago, but I may reenable it later to help to fix this tight problem.
