Tomas, it would be nice if only exact verified information is provided. There is _no_ such version 2.4.25 or anything similar to this number. It is factually _not_ true that the executable was renamed in 2.4.x. The fact is, starting from 2.4.8 the symbolic link "fvwm" is installed. (Still "fvwm" is a preferable executable name in both 2.4.x and 2.5.x.) > Do you have a ~/.xsession file? Look here: > > http://www.hantslug.org.uk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?LinuxHints/StartX > > for details.

This is normal supposing you have some old system.fvwm2rc on your system. I guess, it is safe to remove this system.fvwm2rc file completely. If your goal is still to have a Kiosk-like mode, then please go to http://fvwm.org/contact/ and type "kiosk" or other keywords to try to find useful suggestions. If you need a fully functional desktop instead, you probably want to start with fvwm-themes. > You should ensure that your: > > ~/.fvwm2rc > > file exists. Having ~/.fvwm2rc file is in no way a requirement for running fvwm. In fact, this file is highly discouraged in favour of ~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc (or even ~/.fvwm/config in the latest cvs version).
