Re: FVWM: xterm with FvwmIconBox on Fedora

It's such a shame that you chose to use FvwmIconBox. It's one of those modules which is dead and hasn't been touched by anyone in more years than I can recall. Don't use it. This is why we have FvwmIconMan as its replacement. I didn't know that it has been replaced with FvwmIconMan. Is FvwmIconBox now deprecated and only available for compatibility? There wouldn't be anything to keep me from switching, I guess. When (re-)starting fvwm without the FvwmIconBox module, xterm works fine. Please see [1] for a more detailed reference. You haven't told us what your FVWM version is---what is it? It's 2.6.5 as is currently in Fedora 19: , | [~] rpm -qi fvwm | Name: fvwm | Version : 2.6.5 | Release : 4.fc19 | Architecture: x86_64 | Install Date: Sat 13 Jul 2013 13:20:15 CEST | Group : User Interface/X | Size: 7255461 | License : GPLv2+ | Signature : RSA/SHA256, Fri 15 Mar 2013 15:27:27 CET, Key ID 07477e65fb4b18e6 | Source RPM : fvwm-2.6.5-4.fc19.src.rpm | Build Date : Thu 14 Feb 2013 19:50:52 CET | Build Host : buildvm-17.phx2.fedoraproject.org | Relocations : (not relocatable) | Packager: Fedora Project | Vendor : Fedora Project | URL : http://www.fvwm.org/ | Summary : Highly configurable multiple virtual desktop window manager | Description : | Fvwm is a window manager for X11.

Also: X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Resource id in failed request: 0x0 Says that XTerm fucked up to me. I'll entertain this for one minute. It is very well possible that the problem is with xterm --- or somewhere else entirely. If you can get the window to be blank, can you please attach the output from xprop, and then whilst it's still blank, run in another window xprop -spy and unblank the window? Then put the log from that together with the other one and send it to me. Sure, I'll send them to you. Thank you for looking into this. -- Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error C-c C-c can do nothing useful at this location)
