You know..after resoponding to your post I got curious as to why some programs I use don't have menus (turns out a while ago I copied menu-defs.hook to my .fvwm2/ dir ...oops) And while digging around I found another program (floatbg) with a typo which did the same thingso I guess it is an easy mistake :) > > ?package(xexec):needs=X11 section=XShells\ > title="xexec" command="/usr/X11R6/bin/xexec" looks good to me :) > Thanks for catching this. no problem...I kno wwhat its like to read over something and screw it up because I know what it SHOULD read and miss it...sorta like the othewr day I found a statement that I couldn't say...because it was so convoluted every time I tried to say it I corrected myself. -Steve -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** "I am an agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of." -- Clarance Darrow pgp0GDVlbJPie.pgp Description: PGP signature

The menu package chacks to see if the package named in ?package() to see if that is installed and does NOT show the menu if that is not. Is package splay installed on his machine? is it installed on the machine it works on? try changing it to ?package(local.splay) and see if that fixes it (according to the docs using local. make menu assume thta it is installed) it looks like it SHOULD PROPERLY be ?package(xexec) NOT ?package(splay) -Steve PS remember to run update-menus after making the change -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Does your system have a Debian menu at all? A Debian/XShells? Does it contain other entries such as Rxvt or Xterm? At the end of the file /etc/X11/olvwm/openwin-menu-debian I read: "XShells" MENU "XShells" TITLE "Command Tool"exec /usr/X11R6/bin/cmdtool "Shell Tool"exec /usr/X11R6/bin/shelltool "TkDesk"exec /usr/bin/X11/tkdesk "Xterm"exec xterm "XShells" END PIN "Debian" END PIN I purged xexec and reinstalled it: # dpkg -i xexec_0.0.3-6.deb (Reading database ... 57038 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking xexec (from xexec_0.0.3-6.deb) ... Setting up xexec (0.0.3-6) ...

What else should I have installed? I am using olvwm as well. I know this isn't quite the problem you are examining, but it might be related...
