How did you 'set' the WM to FVWM? Did you set that up in ~/.xinitrc? If you want a light WM that has lots of features, you could look into BlackBox, or XFCE (which is what I am running, see http://nlpagan.net/images/screenshot.jpg ) And if you are interested in a translation of the text on the screen, let me know *grin* My .xinitrc: #!/bin/sh # ### Added by xfce_upgrade version 3.8.12 ### # Set up additionnal fonts that ship with Xfce (Change id38121117) xset fp+ "/usr/local/share/xfce/fonts" ### End of changes version 3.8.12 ### # #!/bin/sh # # xinitrc file for XFce 3 startxfce script # Some distro needs to allow even localhost to use the display # Uncomment this if you experience "Can't open display" when running # programs from xfce.
