For firefox there is a partial workaround. ["persona" "simple fox"]
To make FireFox (and other GNome-flavored applications) 'play nice'
with FVWM, I fire up a minimal bit of GNome:
/usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon. By firing this up with a properly
setup ~/.gconf<mumble> directory/files, I can get FireFox to be set up
with the proper Gnome 'theme' (I created a minimual theme that suited).
So you are confirming there are applications which are ill-behaved with
fvwm ? I hope this info makes sense with Thomas Adam.
I am REALLY reluctant to have to learn gnome just to bypass its features
(if I understand correctly). Actually I'm not even sure it is installed
(our institute-wide base pre-installation prepared by our sys man replied
"KDE" when offered the choice "KDE vs gnome") ... and under KDE those
applications are well-behaved.
Would you mind to share this "minimal theme" ?
Or will Thomas Adam have a simpler workaround at .fvwmrc level if this
diagnosis makes sense to him ?
