Thanks, Dan. I wondered about that -- I've added in new screenshots before; but I did think something went wrong when I saw the blank commit messages come through on the mailing list. That said, the screenshots I added are there now -- I see them on fvwm.org anyway -- all the ones from "Christine". Those were the only ones I added. > Maybe that's why I couldn't find the pictures you uploaded. > > Looks like we do need help on the server. Jason -- any ideas as to the above output? When I was committing to both fvwm and fvwm-web I had no errors from either repository that something had gone amiss. Does CVS report such problems usually? I'm just more interested generally in how these sorts of things arise, and how they're kept track of. Oh well -- I'll hold off on 2.6.1 for now until the CVS issues can be fixed.
