FVWM: A couple of issues with Fvwm-2.6
Hi, I updated from Fvwm-1 to Fvwm-2.6. Yes, that's a big jump. My environment is mostly working as before except I noticed: - when I iconify certain xterm, they display and icon or the get to display xterm with unreadable fonts. If the xterm is running on the same host as fvwm, xterm changes to unreadable fonts and get parked in the iconbox If the xterm is running on a different host than fvwm, xterm is changed to the right icon (as defined in xrdb) and parked in the icon box - when I open a menu with the middle button (mouse wheel) and I move left or right, the menu is changed to a window, with ful decoration Thanks if you have some explanation for the above. Best regards, Olivier

You need to ask actual questions, and what you'd rather have happen in the case of your XTerm icon handling, since at the moment they're nothing more than observations. -- Thomas Adam

See the IconFont style or else it's a DPI issue with your XServer? Unreadable is one of the default font size in xterm. When you CTRL-Right click in xterm, it displays a list of font size, including unreadable (very tiny, like 2x2 pixel/character) When xterm is running on the same host as fvwm, the xterm is not properly iconified, instead it is changed to font size unreadable. You've got xterm active icons configured. Check the xterm man page. -- Dan Espen
