I had the same problem some moths ago.. Needed windows-like icons on desktop for some users, which I got by configuring FvwmButtons (with transparent background). The first problem with it was, that they can't be moved. The second, and most annoying for these users, that these icons launch their application on single-click.. I had some experiments with writing functions, which had to execute on doubleclick, but for some strange reasons they launched apps on triple-click :) After it I started here a conversation about this problem, but no solution found (maybe since then it exists), so I disabled FvwmButtons, and added idesk (idesk.sourceforge.net) as startaction for Fvwm.. This is a non-fvwm solution, but solves desktop for hard windowsbrained users :) Maybe this will help you too.. Regards, EdE
