Well, even though I'm not right all the time, I think I can keep coming up with ideas. I suppose plain: + "xterm" Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm doesn't work either? The abort is supposed to cause a core dump. Do you have ulimit set to allow core dumps? Do you have a core file? If so, do "file core". You could also try running the strace from a menu: + "xterm" Exec strace -f /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm 2>/tmp/strace.out -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
