Ok, after some tricky search I finally found what you have: http://www.suse.de/de/private/products/suse_linux/i386/packages_professional/index_all.html They ship very old fvwm-themes-0.4.2, but it may work ok with fvwm-2.4.8 probably, I don't know. You may install fvwm-themes-0.6.1 from sources, it works well with 2.4.8. 2.4.8 has both executable names fvwm and fvwm2, so don't worry about this. Now, to your problem. Do you start fvwm-themes-start instead of startx or xinit? See /usr/share/doc/packages/fvwm-themes/README . Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
