It's really not an fvwm problem, but this is driving me crazy.
The new box at work has some integrated environment using Gnome
("Openclient"). To create a Vpn connection you have to use
nm-applet from within a running gnome-session. I've tried to run
it on a plain X session, but then it's missing some bit of
configuration. At the moment to get a connection I run fvwm on
:0, then switch to initlevel 5 from there. This starts gdm on :1.
There I log in to a gnome-session, start the connection and switch
back to :0, leaving Gnome running in the background. (This works
only if nm-applet is run on :1 in the gnome-session, not if it's
run on :0.)
All this junk seems to be totally undocumented, so I have no idea
what nm-applet does under the hood. Either there's some secret
communication channel available only under gnome-session, or there
is a permission problem. Has anyone got this to work before?
