Hi,
I get the subject line error message from fvwm.
The error occurs putting a pixmap in a colorset like this:
Colorset 2 TiledPixmap weird10.xpm
As long as the xpm file has no mask, you get the error.
The logic is in fvwm/colorset.c:
if (image != None && mask_image != None)
{
...
}
else
{
fvwm_msg(
ERR, "parse_colorset",
"error reading root background");
In this case there is an image but no mask.
XPM images only have a mask if one of the colors in
the image is "None".
I can't see any reason the message should not be removed,
but I think I might be missing something because the message
makes no sense to me. It doesn't look like it's reading the
root background.
