What menu is this. By default fvwm does not have 'Desktop Effects' so you are using some custom configuration which probabally requires other softwear. Are you using fvwm-crystal? or some other set of fvwm configs? Is this system/preferences menu a part of a gnome/kde pannell you have running and so it is trying to set a preference for a special window manager which you are not running with its default window manager and so the desktop isn't able to set its preferences correctally? In either case this doesn't sound like an fvwm issue yet. To me it sounds like a gnome pannell you have running within fvwm, and in that case the system/preferences menu won't do much to changing fvwm. If it is fvwm-crystal or another set of configs I would ask the question there. If you can be a bit clearer about the above, it will be possible to help or point you in the right direction. jaimos
