For wm* applets I use this: *panel: (1x1, Swallow (Kill, UseOld) 'foo' 'Exec foo &> /dev/null') > Here my init func: > > DestroyFunc InitFunction > AddToFunc InitFunction > + I Exec fvwm-root -r $HOME/.fvwm/wallpaper/Mind.png > + I Exec 3ddeskd --texturesize=512 --fastest --acquire > + I Module FvwmButtons MyButtonBox > + I Module FvwmAuto 500 > ################################################# > > And my restart Function: > > DestroyFunc RestartFunction > AddToFunc RestartFunction > + I All (FvwmButtons) Close > + I Module FvwmButtons MyButtonBox > + I All (FvwmAuto) Close > + I Module FvwmAuto 500 > Note that, if most of the config is parsed in no concrete order, the Init/StartFunction are parsed at a given moment, and that is, before anything else, what means you are loading the module after having configured it. I would take the loading of the buttons panel out of InitFunction, and let it start in a more asynchronous way by just putting it after the *MyButtonBox sentences in your config. There is a good possibility that that will solve your problem. If not, you can always schedule the module loading, but I don't advice to do so on a function. -- Jesús Guerrero
