I've tried about every configuration of the DISPLAY variable there is.
No, it does not work. I poked around at various commands that talk to the
X server and basically, they can't connect to it either. Again, not a
problem with the Apple window manager.
I'm really curious about this because it is such an odd error. Not
critical but i'm imagining others are having it too though I don't know
why they are not reporting it. Maybe the fact that I take my laptop
between domains reduces the types of users that have this problem.
Anyway, thanks for fvwm2. I've been using it since about 95 and love the
fact that you are all still developing it.
