The problem (the following few lines are also the defintion for what I call "XCrash" in the rest of this mail) ################################################################## FVWM crashes when the focus is on an xterm where pine is running *and* when I type a "Q" or "q" in this situation. Crash means: FVWM, i.e. the whole X "really" quits, so I have to start another X. ################################################################# FVWM is started via .xinitrc, either with this entry: exec /usr/bin/fvwm-themes-start or this one: exec /usr/bin/fvwm (and IIRC it crashes in both cases: fvwm-themes-start or fvwm) XCrash happens if Pine is started from .xinitrc with this entry: xterm -geometry 92x50+1550+60 -e /usr/bin/pine & No XCrash with Pine being started from the FVWM root-menu with this entry in ~/.fvwm/themes/personal/menus-programs (the following is one line, just in case you see it as two lines in your MUA) + "Pine%menu/mail.xpm%" Exec exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -geometry 92x50 -e /usr/bin/pine No XCrash if Pine is started from an xterm with this command: /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -geometry 92x50 -e /usr/bin/pine & or with the one I have in .xinitrc No XCrash if Pine is started from an xterm with this command: pine It *seems* that after FVWM was running about 15 minutes or so this XCrash problem does not emerge ... which means this Xterm with Pine in it then is behaving as expected and simply exits without the whole X going to hell. This situation seems to be new here: I don't remember having ever seen it before having installed the new fvwm-2.5.3-1 Best Regards Wolfgang -- Key on: http://home.t-online.de/home/520050060325-0001/ Key fingerprint = 5FFA E2D1 6DB5 C023 0C5F 3FA7 4E08 5F9F 1560 0BA8 Home Page: www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/ -- END TRANSMISSION -- -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
