Hello Thomas, hello Eduardo. Following your hints I had to realize that I should learn some basics first, so I opted for a very quick and directly ;) solution - I created the background I wanted in KDE, took a screenshot, convert(ed) shot.png to shot.xpm and inserted + I Exec exec xpmroot $HOME/.fvwm/BITMAPS/shot.xpm into the initialisation file. Background is that since I took my first glances at the future of KDE I decided that this development is not my way. So I am on a general migration from mouse-driven to keyboard-driven and from dialog-boxes to configuraton files, from kmail to sendmail and from precompiled binaries to compiling the sources by myself. Well, a lot of things will be difficult and it will take some time until I have learned enough, hence the quick intermediate solutions. But I have come to the conclusion (or decision) that this way may be steeper at first, but in the long run it will be more functional and even more comfortable. My first steps with fvwm are very promising. Thanks for your support. Cheers, Erich
