Do: *FvwmButtons: (1x1-0+0, Padding 0 0, Swallow "XConsole" 'Exec killall xconsole; xconsole -bg black -fg white -fn 5x7 -file /dev/console -verbose') If your system has no killall, replace it with kill/pidof or whatever else your system has. Or alternativelly use (Swallow "XConsole" RestartConsole) with: AddToFunc RestartConsole + I All (XConsole) Close + I Exec exec xconsole -bg black -fg white -fn 5x7 -file /dev/console -verbose Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
