Yes. > Either there is a difference in our configuration, or the splashscreen > that comes with RH 8.0 is different somehow than the "normal" Gnome > splashscreen. > I've noted one thing: fvwm does not appear in the list of running application in the gnome-session manager GUI (metacity appear). Maybe gnome-session and fvwm are not agree on one point of the SM protocol and your splash screen does not detect that fvwm is started (but clearly "save session" works fine). My version of gnome-session is gnome-session-2.0.5-4mdk. Mikhael any idea? Also in the session manager I've a check box which allows to disable the splash screen. By the way, I am interested by any remarks concerning possible bad interaction between GNOME 2 and FVWM. Regards, Olivier -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
