Please provide some more details:
- What Mozilla version do you have?
- Are you using the task bar coming with fvwm? If not, which
task bar is it (and which version)?
- How do you resize the window? By dragging from the frame? Or
by some function built into Mozilla? Is it a wire frame or
opaque resize?
- Does it help to press Crtl-Alt-Esc to get out of the hang?
- Please try to strip down your .fvwm2rc file as much as possible
so that the problem still happens and post it to the mailing
list. If it stops happening when you remove a specific line,
please say so.
- When you log in from a different machine, try to attach a
debugger to the running fvwm process to see where it hangs.
If you have gdb:
$ gdb fvwm <fvwm-process-id>
Then, at the gdb prompt, type
(gdb) where
(this prints a stack trace in clear text, please post that
output). Next, single step through the code until you come across
the same code line as "where" printed:
(gdb) s
<some output>
(gdb) <hit return repeatedly>
And post all output.
Bye
Dominik ^_^ ^_^
