Very likely the menu fvwm-menu-desktop generates is identical to your Debian menu. I will give it a try with Jessie. It can take some months, but when this topic has focus, I can give feedback. After all, FVWM is such an important part that it could be a good idea to not choose the packaged version but a recent one directly from upstream. - Michael -

It didn't work because the dependencies couldn't be solved in 'Squeeze'. But as soon as I migrate to 'Jessie', I will get an 'FVWM 2.6.5' anyway. The old 'Wheezy' and 'Squeeze' machines have to run productively until my first 'Jessie' machines are finally ready and productive. - Michael -

michael.gros...@gmx.de writes: Hi! As I reported some years earlier, the FVWM pager crashes sometimes (say, it disappears sporadically when I switch desktops). To fix this, my FVWM config has this code since Debian Wheezy: AddToFunc StartFunction + I Schedule Periodic 2000 crashGuardPager DestroyFunc crashGuardPager AddToFunc crashGuardPager + I All (minipager) Nop + I TestRc (NoMatch) crashHandlerPager DestroyFunc crashHandlerPager AddToFunc crashHandlerPager + I SetEnv SAVED_DESKTOP_NUMBER_MINI + I paintMinipager Every time the pager disappears, this code automatically creates a new one within 2 seconds (by letting the function 'paintMinipager' doing this job). So far, so good. Now, my Xen based virtual Debian Wheezy VNC machine with FVWM 2.5.30 has an uptime of 13 days and 7 hours, and once again, the pager disappeared. I waited, but it didn't reappear. The current version of Fvwm in CVS is 2.66. I don't remember the Pager issue, but I guess it could be fixed. Did you submit a stack dump? I can set up a Schedule test, but it sounds like it's going to take a couple of weeks to recreate the problem. I don't see anything in the current code that would cause a problem. I suggest you start with running something current. -- Dan Espen
