All the 'quick access' stuff is in Fvwm menus and if i need something I use the kicker menu... Exactly what I do, my everyday programs are in the FVWM menus and when I want something unusual (whose name I don't know) I use the Gnome Panel. I'll have a go with kicker and see if it does what I want, thank you. So I've installed KDE's kicker and it seems to have a totally different view of what Desktops are from FVWM's view. In fact I *think* kicker's Desktops are FVWM's Pages, but I'm not very certain and it sure is confusing! -- Chris Green
Re: FVWM: If I enable Desktop Effects fvwm2 crashes
Yes, sorry, I should have said, the 'Desktop Effects' is accessed from gnome-panel. However I don't really see why fvwm should stop it working. Just about every other thing that I can access from gnome-panel works perfectly. fvwm2 is supposed to be gnome friendly. From your logs it apears that the conflict is with FvwmPager. You could try to disable FvwmPager for the time you need to turn on the desktop effects. jaimos

So, it seems that button: kills the running window manager Puts something in its place that isn't useful. Fvwm is not crashing, it's just stopping as requested.

That would explain it then, however it doesn't help me sort out the original problem that I was trying to sort out. I'm currently using gnome-panel as the only 'extra' on my screen, I don't use fvwm's buttons or similar. Most of what I want I access via fvwm's menus, it's only occasionally I go into the gnome-panel menus to find something. Since I'm using gnome-panel I also use the gnome Workspace Switcher which sits happily as an applet in the gnome-panel. The problem is that there is an interaction between the Workspace Switcher and Desktop Effects which is why I want to change the settings in Desktop Effects. I realise this is getting a bit far from fvwm2 now though. Is there any equivalent of gnome-panel in fvwm2 where I could park FvwmPager? Can I get the gnome-panel menus into the same place? The gnome menus have the big advantage of automatically adding new programs when you install them. -- Chris Green
FVWM: If I enable Desktop Effects fvwm2 crashes
I'm running fvwm 2.5.24 on Fedora 8. If I go to System - Preferences - Look and Feel - Desktop Effects and click the Enable Desktop Effects butoon it crashes my fvwm2 session. I have attached my .xsession-errors file, I suspect the relevant bit *may* be this:- [FvwmPager][FlocaleGetFontSet]: (5x8) Missing font charsets: JISX0208.1983-0, KSC5601.1987-0, GB2312.1980-0, JISX0201.1976-0, ISO10646-1 do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out _XmCvtStringToXmFontList() INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: SendRequest: Read of ack failed: 0 System error?:: Success *** encoders math1mono - x-mathematica1 Can anyone explain this? I only want to enable Desktop Effects temporarily to clear an associated oddity in the Workspace Switcher preferences. -- Chris Green localuser:chris being added to access control list /home/chris/.profile: line 28: unalias: ls: not found [fvwm][CMD_SnapAttraction]: DEPRECATED The command SnapAttraction is obsolete.
