FvwmPager vanishes when moving windows
Hi, I have found that FvwmPager crashes and the window vanishes when 1) the pager is showing a desk other than Desk 0; 2) the configuration has the pager showing balloons; and 3) you then use button 2 on the mouse to move a window within the pager. For instance, try moving a window within the pager using mouse button 2 within both of these pagers. On my machine one pager (the one without the balloons) will vanish after doing the move; the other pager without the balloons will not vanish. --- *CrashyConfig: Balloons AddToFunc InitFunction + I GotoDesk 0 1 + I Module FvwmPager 1 1 + I Module FvwmPager CrashyConfig 1 1 + I Exec exec xterm --- Thanks for all your work on fvwm. Let me know if I can provide any other info or if this can't be replicated. This is fvwm 2.6.5 on Arch Linux. --Omari

I also notice that for me at least the pager does not seem to behave as documented in the man page, which says that if I omit both desk numbers, the current desk is used instead. So I would think this means that if I do GotoDesk 0 1 Module FvwmPager then I would get an FvwmPager showing Desk 1, but instead I get a pager that says Desk 1 in the title bar while actually showing me Desk 0 in the pager (which is labeled appropriately in the pager.) Is that what's expected? Thanks. --Omari
