Not acceptable? Here's the bottom line on what we found out, and this should give you some idea of how hard we tried: http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/archive/0212/msg00286.html What remains is for someone (not me) to report this problem to the vendor. You can go to Sun, or anyone else distributing RM6. I believe the software originates with LSI. If you have any suggestions on how to fix Fvwm, let us know. -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
