Fvwm hangs completely

2014-08-10 Thread Tobias Landes 
Hello guys,



first of all: many thanks for this great window manager; I've been using it 
(and only it) for many years now and I just love the configurability. Anyway, 
it seems I finally managed to find a bug. For some time I thought it was a bug 
in Eclipse, but now I noticed that using no window manager at all makes the 
problem disappear, so it seems it's an Fvwm issue after all.



Steps to reproduce:

Just download any recent version of Eclipse, extract, and start it. Then try 
dragging a view tab from one place to another inside Eclipse. Fvwm will hang 
completely, one CPU core running at 100%; I have to switch to a console and 
kill the Java VM to make things work again.



FvwmConsole (if opened beforehand) will display the following error:



FvwmConsole version 2.6.5

[fvwm][ComplexFunction]: <> Grab failed in function 
EWMHActivateWindowFunc, unable to execute immediate action



I'm running Fvwm 2.6.5 on kernel 3.12.13-gentoo and xorg-server-1.15.0 at the 
moment, but the problem has been there for many updates now. I did customize 
lots of things in my Fvwm configuration, but not the function mentioned in the 
error above.



Since I'm using both Fvwm and Eclipse professionally, I would really appreciate 
any fixes and/or workaround suggestions.



Best regards,

Tobias Landes

I think that was just changed at some point in time.  In the past,
man pages were installed in ${prefix}/man.

Ciao

CVS fvwm mandir

2014-08-10 Thread Walter A. Iglesias 
Hello,

On CVS version, despite what's informed in INSTALL.fvwm:


#--

What gets installed, and where
==

[...]

Unless you used configure options,

* ${prefix} is /usr/local
* ${bindir} is ${prefix}/bin
* ${mandir} is ${prefix}/man
...

#--


man pages are insalled in /usr/local/share/man

Could it be an autoconf error?
