If they're in your personal .fvwmrc file, of course root doesn't see them. Only you run your personal .fvwmrc file. It is unusual to have to modify root's environment; it is fairly important that it stays as normal as possible. System wide settings belong in /etc/profile (urr, /etc/login for csh). But root should not have csh as its shell on most systems. (BSD systems often ship with csh for root, and it's the first thing I change if I set up such a box.) -- Cameron Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you. - Will Rogers
