Such a shame. FVWM 1.X isn't supported here upstream at all. There's lots of reasons why -- but when you consider its age and how it's got to interact with other XClients, I wouldn't like to consider the likely number of bugs. :) > So I want to try to run this thing under gdb, and see what (if anything) > I can manage to puzzle out about why it may be pegging the CPU usage. gdb -p $(pidof fvwm) .. then at its prompt: (gdb) bt ... but I would be amazed if anyone here will spare the time to look into this. Given I seem to recall spending more than enough time in the past "porting" your config to FVWM 2.5.X, you can count me out immediately with any further diagnosis into this. Remind me again why FVWM 2.5.X can't be used? -- Thomas Adam
