So, what does this section from the FvwmGtk-manpage mean: .IP "*FvwmGtk: RCFile \fBfile\fP" Note that this command should be issued before defining any menus or dialog. Hint for GNOME users: If you add instances of this command for the standard GNOME rc files, switching themes via the control-center will apply to FvwmGtk widgets as well, giving a very integrated appearance of the desktop. > >yes, but only for gnome 1, so ... > > > > Oh!

If you're referring to the gnome libs: FvwmGtk is the orly place where they are needed. If you mean the GNOMe WM hints: we should keep them. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
