Very cool, thanks! Is there an upgrade guide/list of changes since Fvwm2? I couldn't find it on the website. (I see that my current configuration will still work with fvwm3, but I'm still slow to test it as it's critical for my daily work.) GI -- When an actress saw her first strands of gray

Hi All, I'm trying to get my computer to sleep when inactive. I have: IdleAction=suspend IdleActionSec=30min in /etc/systemd/logind.conf. However, no action is taken no matter how long the system is left idle. After looking here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1295 it
