fvwm2: icons not visible as user, ok as root.
For quite a while, I have not been able to see most icons in fvwm2 (or other windows managers, except afterstep, which keeps icons in a certain directory). As far as I can recall, icons were visible for a brief time when I first installed Debian on this machine in July 1997. I posted about this problem once before.

(/usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/) Can you open any of those in some program (xv, xbmbrowser) ? --j -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

As far as I can recall, icons were visible for a brief time when I first installed Debian on this machine in July 1997. I primarily use afterstep, so I'm not a fvwm authority, but if fvwm and the other wm's use a common directory for icons, like /usr/X11R6/icons (I'm not saying it does), then you'll want to be sure your permissions are properly set for that directory. I use hamm and mine looks like: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 5120 Feb 14 22:54 icons Did you confirm that your user(s) configuration file(s) exist with proper permissions and ownership? Did you ever modify the system config file(s) as root? If so, you may have inadvertently changed the ownership to exclude regular users. (I'm not much of an fvwm user, so I can't tell you where they're located.) Have you tried purging the package and reinstalling? Sometimes your config files will be remain, so you may have to hunt them down and manually delete them. You might try using 'updatedb' and 'locate' to help with this. -- David Stern -- http://weber.u.washington.edu/~kotsya [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
