There have been some changes in the area of restart. This is from the man page: If you need a native restart, we suggest only to use Restart command without parame ters unless there is a reason not to. If you still use an old command 'Restart fvwm2' that was correct in 2.2.x, all current com mand line arguments are lost. On Restart without parameters or with --pass-args, they are preserved. There are some other details in the man page that may be of interest. -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
