Yes, that's very similar to what I had. My problem is that I don't understand at all why my patches work on that X86-64 machine, I just fiddled with the code until it worked, hoping not to break something. Actually, both version of the code should work everywhere, but obviously they don't. > I don't set a general FvwmIconMan foreground or background colour. > Setting them explicitly doesn't fundamentally change the results; the > only net effect is that the iconified 'xterm1' FvwmIconMan button > doesn't have the grey cast it does in the -bad PNG here. That's the same observation I made on that bad machine. Setting the background colour of the focused button had no effect whatsoever. I moved the code that sets the colour around in the source files, and at _some_ location it worked, but not in others, although the background colour was not overwritten anywhere. > I can easily test patches/changes if people would like. That will help a lot. Pinnig the problem down is probably going to be difficult. > [*: my machine is 64-bit Fedora 18 with an ATI graphics card and the > normal Fedora 18 open source drivers.

What X server do you have (version?). Can you please post the output of $ ldd /path/to/fvwm2 and a minimal fvwm configuration file that shows your problem? P.S.: Do you read the list, or should I cc you on replies? P.P.S.: Please do _not_ cc me unless I specifically ask for it. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt
