Well, look here: http://fvwmwiki.org/GeneralConfigGuideLines You'll see there that I've wrote: "Each user can have their own .fvwm2rc file, which is in their home directory. This file can either directly under the home directory, or it can be in the ~/.fvwm. Note that as of FVWM 2.5.X, FVWM searches for its config file in the following locations, in order of preference. As soon as it finds one of them in that order, it stops looking: $HOME/.fvwm/config [INSTALL_PREFIX]/share/fvwm/config $HOME/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc $HOME/.fvwm2rc [INSTALL_PREFIX]/share fvwm/.fvwm2rc [INSTALL_PREFIX]/share/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc /etc/system.fvwm2rc" So what you should do is traverse that list in order to see which if the files exists first and hence which config FVWM is most likely reading. By the looks of the error message, I am assuming that maybe (at a guess from what I know of DeadRat) the prefix it's looking for is /etc/X11 -- for years, RH used to put FVWM configuration there. > FVWM_DATADIR is defined as /usr/share/fvwm.

Certainly the '.fvwm/conf.d/fvwm2rc.menu' part of suggests that it should be using FVWM_USERDIR as the prefix since .fvwm is typically found in one's $HOME. At a further guess, the filename indications are familiar to the old AnotherLevel package. Is this what you're using? -- Thomas Adam -- ThisWindow (thomas_adam) Destroy
