Hey all, I've just installed RH 9.0 on my system. Window managers like Gnome work fine. Wanting to get back to fvwm, I've pulled down version 2.4.16 and compiled it, no compile errors. Configure showed: FVWM Configuration:
Version: 2.4.16 Executables: /usr/local/bin Man pages: /usr/local/man Modules: /usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.16 Data files: /usr/local/share/fvwm With GNOME Window Manager hints? yes With GTK support for FvwmGtk? no: Failed to detect GTK, see config.log With Multibyte support? no: Use --enable-multibyte to enable With ReadLine sup. in FvwmConsole? yes With RPlay support in FvwmEvent? no: Can't find working librplay With Shaped window support? yes With Session Management support? yes With Stroke support? no: Can't find working libstroke With Xinerama support? yes With XPM support? yes When I fire up fvwm, whether with all defaults or with my own .fvwm2rc, all windows fire up and work. However once fvwm is up and running any menu I bring up is blank. The background is correctly set to whatever Background is set to in .fvwm2rc but there's no text. The "hotspots" are there and working properly, I just can't see what I'm clicking on. Running fvwm -debug shows immediate errors: [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> *** internal error *** [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> Request 55, Error 7, EventType: 0 [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> *** internal error *** [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> Request 55, Error 7, EventType: 0 [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> *** internal error *** [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> Request 55, Error 7, EventType: 0 [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> *** internal error *** [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> Request 55, Error 7, EventType: 0 [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> *** internal error *** [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> Request 55, Error 7, EventType: 0 [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> *** internal error *** [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> Request 55, Error 7, EventType: 0 [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> *** internal error *** [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> Request 55, Error 7, EventType: 0 [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> *** internal error *** [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> Request 55, Error 7, EventType: 0 [FVWM][ReadFile]: <<DEBUG>> Module flag 1, about to attempt /usr/X11R6/share/fvwm2/ConfigFvwmDefaults ...

There is no buttonbox bark of any kind that I can see being output via debug. The buttonbox is sucked in via read /home/schultz/.fvwm/ConfigFvwmButtons and so far contains merely: *FvwmButtonsBoxSize fixed *FvwmButtonsBack blue *FvwmButtons: Columns 1 *FvwmButtonsGeometry +0+200 *FvwmButtons: (2x2, Frame 2, Swallow(UseOld) "Inline" "Module FvwmPager Inline 0 0") *FvwmButtons(NoSize Title Galeon, Icon wingdogs, Action `exec /usr/bin/galeon`) *FvwmButtons(NoSize Title XChat, Icon mini.ear.xpm, Action `exec /usr/bin/xchat`) *FvwmButtons(NoSize Title Close, Icon bomb.xpm, Action Close) *FvwmButtons(NoSize Title Xterm, Icon xterm.xpm, Action `exec xterm -fn "-schumacher-*-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" -geometry 87x73 -sb -sl 4000 -ls &`) *FvwmButtons(Size 50 50 Swallow(Respawn,NoHints) xclock 'exec xclock &') #*FvwmButtons(End) Anybody have any ideas or pointers on where to find out what the errors mean and what's happening to the buttonbox and menus? -- Randy ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 715-726-2832 <*> The Penguin Cometh -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
