If you're not using 2.6.3, then yes. Of course you should. And you'd need to be compiling from source for the above advice to be of any use to you, yes. > > > Run that version of fvwm, make it crash.

I do not understand this sentence. You'll need to install gdb, and if you have a corefile (called "core", by the way), then you can issue the instructions above. Do not just send me the corefile itself, because oftentimes corefiles can contain information outside from the crash itself which might be sensitive. I wouldn't bother with the Xorg logs myself either -- just concentrate on getting a corefile if FVWM really is crashing, which from your description, suggests it is. -- Thomas Adam
