Note that you've specified the root window as the context for this binding. Hence, FVWM will only launch the xterm when you press the XF86Forward key AND the pointer is over the root window. I define bindings like this with the "Any" context: Key XF86Forward A A Exec xterm That way the xterm will be launched no matter where the pointer is when the key is pressed. In addition, for long running processes like xterm, you may want to use "Exec exec xterm" as the command. The extra "exec" prevents the shell used to launch the xterm from clogging up your process table. --Ethan
