I'm a newcomer to FVWM (version 2.5.10 under SuSe Linux 9.2, i.e. the version which ships with the SuSE distribution). My background was mainly the one of a mwm and CDE (although with a peculiar look !) user under DEC OSF 3.2 and 4.0.
I successfully managed to customize fvwm starting from the .fvwm2rc distributed with SuSE. However I note that my .xsession-errors contains the following messages FvwmTheme is obsolete, see the Colorset section of the fvwm(1) man page Cannot parse color "dtcolor5" couldn't create gradient Cannot parse color "dtcolor5" couldn't create gradient WARNING: '/etc/xdg/menus/suse-screensavers.menu' does not exist WARNING: '/etc/xdg/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu' does not exist /bin/sh: susewmif: command not found I believe the first bunch of messages derives from this group of statements in the original .fvwm2rc which I did not dare to delete. # 0 = Default colors # 1 = Inactive windows # 2 = Active windows # 3 = Inactive menu entry and menu background # 4 = Active menu entry # 5 = greyed out menu entry (only bg used) # 6 = module foreground and background) # 7 = hilight colors *FvwmTheme: Colorset 0 fg black, bg rgb:6f/a1/dc *FvwmTheme: Colorset 1 fg black, bg rgb:a1/b2/c8 *FvwmTheme: Colorset 2 fg black, bg rgb:70/a2/dd *FvwmTheme: Colorset 3 fg black, bg rgb:c8/d3/e5, VGradient 100 dtcolor5 rgb:c8/d3/e5 *FvwmTheme: Colorset 4 fg black, bg rgb:91/ae/d6 *FvwmTheme: Colorset 5 fg rgb:d2/bf/a8, bg rgb:b4/aa/94 *FvwmTheme: Colorset 6 fg black, bg rgb:b4/aa/94, VGradient 100 dtcolor5 rgb:b4/aa/94 *FvwmTheme: Colorset 7 fg black, bg rgb:94/ab/bf # run FvwmTheme before anything else is done ModuleSynchronous Timeout 5 FvwmTheme The last message should derive from the second line of InitFunction. Apparently this "susewmif" is neither installed nor documented on my system. AddToFunc InitFunction # +"I" Module FvwmBanner + "I" Exec susewmif xmessages I can't trace the two warnings (about non existing menu definitions) in my .fvwm2rc. In any case : - can I assume the above messages are harmless ? - can I just comment out the statements which generate them ? - any other hint ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lucio Chiappetti - INAF/IASF - via Bassini 15 - I-20133 Milano (Italy) For more info : http://www.mi.iasf.cnr.it/~lucio/personal.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
