Dear List, ** I'm cross-posting this with fvwm-themes as I'm not sure whether this is a fvwm or a fvwm-themes issue (I don't make a habit of this kind of thing!) **
I have been experimenting with using session managers. Having read the fvwm-themes FAQ, I am now using "gnome-session" (this is purely because FVWM claims to be gnome-like). I followed the instructions about selecting the "generic" session manager from the menu, and also I have changed my "~/.xsession" file appropriately -- that all works fine. My problem is that upon using fvwm, I am now no longer able to switch themes or update existing ones via the "Theme Management" menu. Fvwm just hangs. I read up in the FAQ and suggested that I try this: env FT_USE_RESTART=1 fvwm-themes-start so I tried that, and that had no effect (in Bash version 2.05b). Also, another slight annoyance I am experiencing (I cannot work out if it is fvwm or gnome-session, or perhaps the way the two interact) is gnome-session hangs for a long time after I log in via xdm. It takes about three minutes for fvwm to load and I cannot understand why. I ran a "strace" on gnome-session and nothing was wrong there. I had a look at gnome-session's "--purge-delay" and "--warn-delay" options, and they had no effect. Also (and I think that I might be getting slightly too abstract...sorry), I don't know how many of you actually use gnome-session, but in running the program "session-properties-capplet" allows you to specify a list of having gnome run "non session managed" programs. I have tried to add three, but each time only one program appears in the list, and consequently gets launched. Any ideas why this should be? Any ideas about any of this? I used to use "FvwmSaveDesk", but that just lacks certain features....
