First, lets see if the new vanilla build gives you the same problem. In that case you can compile with USE="debug" to get a debug build of fvwm. > > OK, it's compiling right now.

Look here, particularly sections df1 and df3. http://www.starshine.org/xteddy/thomas/fvwm/fvwmchanfaq.html#df1 If we can reproduce the same error with the vanilla build, then the backtrace would belong to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list, where the fvwm can give you a better advice and the bug would probably be hunted and tracked much more faster than I could do. -- Jesús Guerrero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [email protected] mailing list
