I am noting a funny (and sort of annoying behaviour) when using firefox
and acrobat reader in a fvmw session under suse 11.3 (newly installed).
The topmost menu bar (File Edit ...) has white text onto black background,
although I do not have any X resource in .Xdefaults which makes that.
The same colour applies to all pull down menus, and for acrobat also to
the bookmark window.
The remaining menu bars and widget are normal (black on light grey).
Actually the problem occurs both for a test user which imported all my old
personal configuration (.Xdefaults, .mozilla/* etc. .fvmw) as well for a
test user created afresh which has none of those files (and uses for fvwm
the system-bundled fvwmrc ... actually it is using the one recently
modified by Thomas Adams as a kind reply to a recent post of mine).
The problem does not occur if firefox or acrobat are run from KDE.
So this makes me think of some sort of interference, like firefox and
acrobat are picking up those resources from somewhere in the fvwm
configuration, or not finding something they expect.
I would be glad to override this with X resources, but I'm not sure
firefox and acrobat honour them in the usual way. I tried editres to get
the widget tree and it returns nothing.
Any idea of the reason, and a possible workaround within .fvwm2rc ?
