Hello, There is no bugs in fvwm here (I think). If you check "Use Nautilus to draw the desktop" Nautilus put a window onto the root window so there is no more root window that you can click on, there is the desktop window. With 2.5 you can try: Mouse 1 D N Popup RootMenu Nop Mouse 3 D N WindowList OnlyIcons, UseIconName D is a new binding context for "desktop" (this may not work with the Nautilus shipped with RedHet 7.2, but this work with a GNOME2 Nautilus which respect a certain protocole). However, if you (or someone else) want that Nautilus manages the "desktop" I think you want that Nautilus manages mouse buttons on the desktop window. So, it is prefereable to use: Mouse 1 D M Popup RootMenu Nop Mouse 3 D M WindowList OnlyIcons, UseIconName i.e., get your fvwm menus by adding a modifier (seems that Alt+Mouse is not used by Nautilus neither by kdesktop (KDE version >= 2)). Of course, the solution you use (removing the desktop window) seems good too for me. I do not understand the interset of these desktop window and desktop icons :o) Regards, Olivier -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
