This sounds right. You might try (if you haven't configured fvwm yourself) running an `apt-get --purge remove fvwm` followed by `apt-get install fvwm`, to reinstall the default debian configuration of fvwm, which gives rather nice menus. BTW I doubt that this is the right way to do this, I just don't know a better way. -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/
