FVWM: Window interaction hangs X server
I've got a fresh RedHat 9 installation on a workstation. Under the stock Gnome/Metacity desktop, the thing works fine (to the extent that Metacity ever works :-) Now when I build fvwm 2.5.7 and change my .xsession file to launch it, I have terrible problems: X basically just stops responding as soon as I move a window, or do almost anything else to a window. The X server has to be sent a kill -9 to get rid of it. The same thing happens if I start Mozilla, immediately after the window decorations are drawn (none of Mozilla per se is ever rendered). I've successfully use fvwm elsewhere (it's running on the laptop I'm typing this from now), and this is the first time I've had any sort of problem at all. Anybody else seen this? -- [ you are my main foo ] Mike McNally -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

Re: FVWM: Window interaction hangs X server
Well, this is strange. I'm using RH9.0 right now with fvwm 2.4.15 and there's really no problems I've seen. Have you tried an earlier version of fvwm?

Funny you should mention Redhat 9.0. I just installed it at work on a server and was able to run whatever WM is the default. When I started Fvwm, any key I hit resulted in the display resizing as if I had hit Ctl-Alt +/-. Ctl-Alt backspace still worked though. I was too busy to make any attempt to debug it. -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

No. I didn't have time to fool around with it. I was using a CVS build from April, built on Mandrake 8.2. The way it was acting seemed more like an X server problem than something caused by Fvwm. But it did work with whatever RH supplies. Thinking about it, I'm not really sure what I would do to debug it. Not that I have to, its a server. I normally work on it remotely.

FVWM: FvwmPerl preprocessing
Hello.
I am looking for a way of doing arithmetic in the configuration
file of Fvwm, in order to position windows in the task bar I am
trying to setup.
Searching old messages, I have found an indication that the
FvwmPerl module could do what I want. It had been suggested to do
put the following in the configuration file:
==
AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I Module FvwmPerl
DestroyFunc .
AddToFunc .
+ I SendToModule FvwmPerl preprocess -c -- $*
==
The . function would preprocess its argument prior
to delivering it to Fvwm.
When I try the following
. Echo %{ $[vp.width] - 100 }%
in FvwmConsolde, it does work and I get
[FVWM][Echo]: 1300
as the output.
But if I put that command in my configuration file, it
does not work when I restart Fvwm.
Any clues?
Romildo

I forget to tell I am running Fvwm 2.5.7 on Gentoo Linux.

Make sure FvwmPerl is running when you use . function.
Use ModuleSynchronous, not Module command as suggested in the man page.

Any explanation for this behaviour (works in FvwmConsole only)?
Make sure FvwmPerl is running when you use . function.
FvwmPerl is running:
$ ps x | grep FvwmPerl
25356 vc/1 S 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/lib/fvwm/2.5.7/FvwmPerl 7 4
none 0 8
Use ModuleSynchronous, not Module command as suggested in the man page.
Using ModuleSynchronous now:
AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I ModuleSynchronous FvwmPerl
