If Mozilla/Netscape is any example, I agree with Dominik, its horribly slow. I hate breaking compatibilty, more than I dislike inconsistency. If you change the name, please consider providing a link to the old name. I agree that FvwmCommand is a security exposure. Users should only use it when they have their environment under control. Its good that it needs to be explicitly turned on. -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
