Ah, ok...

Hmm... can't seem to sort it, I put Style "*" IconBox 0 1024 -280 -1 in my fvwm2rc, but icons still end up lower left corner.

Ah, figured it would be something I had done... or rather, the Red Hat packagers, since I'm just tweaking the system.fvwm2rc. Thank you, works like a dream now. (Come to think of it, I might have ripped this config off a Debian system.fvwm2rc, oh well.) > By the way, I believe this line does not what you wanted it to do: > > Mouse 2 TS A Move-or-Raise > > I guess you wanted > > Mouse 2 FS A Move-or-Raise > ^^^ > > instead. Thanks for that hint. Hadn't really noticed it wouldn't work in the corners yet ;) Thank you very much. Ian. PS.
