Full_Name: David A. Rogers
Version: 2.4.6
CVS_Date:
OS: Debian (Woody current testing)
X_Server: xfree86 4.1
Submission from: (NULL) (192.207.190.2)
In 2.4.6 FvwmEvent, Cmd Exec does not work properly.
The following minimal rc file exhibits the behavior.
The FvwmEvent setting:
*FvwmEvent: Cmd Exec /usr/bin/play
never results in play being called. It appears that it is trying to Exec
the parameter (the sound file) instead of play. The rc below results in
the .xsession-errors file below.
Using a function to call exec _does_ work and I am using that as my
work-around. (See the commented Cmd PlaySound).
Thanks for looking at this.
