What you're probably seeing is the result of a bugfix (i.e. the old way isn't supposed to have worked, but it did, and it seems that it's been widely used.)

So basically, the fix is to put your move command into a function, and then call the function. For the chronically lazy or those who aren't terribly familiar with their fvwm configuration, I made a script a while back to do the conversion; it's available at http://themuffin.net/fvwm-mousecmd-convert.awk It should, at least, make the required changes obvious so that you can do it yourself if you prefer. -- Ben Winslow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
