 That's wrong, even for FVWM 2.4.X -- module commands are now in the form:

 *Alias: Option value

 ...note the colon.

The colon was added in at some point.

Very cleverly, I believe the old syntax still works.

 What is it with people replying off-list?  I don't do FVWM consultancy.
 *Please* keep this on list.

Maybe it's the fact that the list is set up so that replies go to Sender,
and not to the list. Most people just click on Reply assuming it will 
go to the correct place.

If replies should go to the list, then the list should be appropriately
configured.

It does still work, but that's not the point, I'd rather see this cleaned up.

2009-10-06 Thread Jacek Kopecky
When you run a FvwmButtons module, you can give it a name:

Module FvwmButtons FvwmButtonsLower

The last parameter is used when looking for configuration, so you can go
on and configure the second instance independently from the first:

*FvwmButtonsLower: Fore Black
*FvwmButtonsLower: Frame 1
*FvwmButtonsLower: Back #eec090
*FvwmButtonsLower: Font
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
*FvwmButtonsLower: Geometry +0-0
*FvwmButtonsLower: Columns 3
... etc

It's also mentioned in the man page, with the name MyButtonBox.

Hope this helps,
