Re: losing keys in fvwm2
I have found that, whenever I exit Netscape (3.01 in my case), I cannot alt-arrow to shift virtual screens. However, if I user the page and click into another virtual screen, the alt-arrow keys will again work. I have not tried other fvwm2 keystrokes and I am sure that I only see this happen when exiting Netscape.

I wonder why i never noticed that silly green light . . . I suppose the relation to netscape is missing the page-up key . . . rick, who's never quite sure what those extra banks of keys are for, but thinks they'd go away if they put the control key back where God meant it to be . . . :) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

losing keys in fvwm2
There was some discussion of this a month or two ago, and I don't recall it coming to a conclusion. At times, the keystrokes for fvwm2 simply stop working. Particularly, alt-arrow to shift virtual screens, alt-f9 (to icocnify) and the like, and teh alt-click combinations to move windows forward/back. It alwasy seems to happen when netscape is being used, and particularly with multiple windows. However, I had it with a single window the other day. The only way I've found to get the mappings back is to log out and relogin--simply restarting fvwm doesn't seem to do it. rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
