I was just commenting on the two development releases fvwm-2.5.2 and fvwm-2.5.3 since Dominik is rewriting this area it wouldn't make sense to submit a bug report at this time.

I tried the above. Make install works fine but if you make -k install-strip then the problem occurs. > This depends on how you start the fvwm executable.

The above idea does what I want. i.e startx >>/var/log/win_system_log 2>&1 gives me everything. What I had in mind was the thread on the bash syntax.
