FVWM: default .fvwm2rc file - what should I use?

[Macintyre, Ross A]

Hi, I hope someone can help. I’ve just installed FC5 on a number of machines and installed fvwm-2.4.19-1. For some people who didn’t have .fvwmrc or .fvwm2rc files, fvwm did not work. In the past I remembered that, I thought, fvwm would use a default rc file if it didn’t find a ~/.fvwmrc file, but I don’t see this anymore.   To get some people working I copied /usr/share/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc-sample-95 into their home directories as .fvwm2rc. I did this cos it was the only file with “rc” in it in the distribution. Not very scientific but it seemed to work!   Anyway now I am revisiting this I see that it produces lots of errors like this:   [FVWM][ReadDecorFace]: <<ERROR>> couldn't load pixmap mini.winXX-close.xpm [FVWM][ReadDecorFace]: <<ERROR>> couldn't load pixmap mini.winXX-maximize.xpm [FVWM][ReadDecorFace]: <<ERROR>> couldn't load pixmap mini.winXX-minimize.xpm [FVWM][Read]: <<ERROR>> file '.start-Background' not found in /u1/staff/donald/. fvwm or /usr/share/fvwm [FVWM][Read]: <<ERROR>> file '.start-apps-man' not found in /u1/staff/donald/.fv wm or /usr/share/fvwm [FVWM][Read]: <<ERROR>> file '.start-FvwmButtons' not found in /u1/staff/donald/ .fvwm or /usr/share/fvwm ………….. ………….. [FVWM][scanForPixmap]: <<WARNING>> Couldn't load image from side.fvwm2.xpm [FVWM][scanForPixmap]: <<WARNING>> Couldn't load image from screen.xpm [FVWM][scanForPixmap]: <<WARNING>> Couldn't load image from modules.xpm [FVWM][scanForPixmap]: <<WARNING>> Couldn't load image from shells.xpm   So will this cause a lot of problems? And is there a default working .fvwm[2]rc file out there that one should use?   Thanks in advance,   Ross   Ross Macintyre School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, Heriot-Watt University Tel: 0131 451 3417 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Paintings at http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~raz/paintings/
