Funny thing is, I told Fvwm that it could maximize to the full size of the screen (1024x768 at the time), and I could still access the menus by clicking along the screen edge. I guess Fvwm puts a border there, or maybe I accidentally configured it to put the menus on the windows borders as well as the desktop. Either way, I could still access them when there was a maximized window present. -- Rob Park http://www.ualberta.ca/~rbpark -- Are you a turtle? -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
