Hi, My .fvwm2rc file is attached. A lot of the stuff, except for the "Utilities" and "remote logins" blocks has been there for a long, long time (fvwm 1.x era) because I have used fvwm since 1993. I think you may be right in that the problem is the X server. I've built X11R6.6, but I cannot get the window manager to start with the R6.6 version of Xsun, even built as setuid root. I am stumped as to why it won't work.... So I am still using /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun as the server, and fvwm is still crashing when I move windows from desktop to desktop. Aarrrgh.
I will research X11R6.6 Xserver some more and keep trying. But I have real work to do today too. --- Jeff
