Well, not perfectly. The algorythm is broken, and I suspect it was even before I messed with it. If I execute the above command about 5 times FvwmProxy crashes, as the windows start getting beyond the screen. It needs a more serious intervention, even though it shouldn't crash or misbehave in normal circumnstances.. In any case, I already know the problem, so with some time it will be easy to solve it. I have my last exam tomorrow, so.. Cheers Renato Caldas
