The idea behind that isn't to make it difficult, but rather reduce the amount of spam I have to deal with. But with very little work on your part, you should be able to derive the answer easily enough. Was indeed the FvwmTaskBar. Seemed to have solved the problem - Click in the root area - Select Modules - click on TaskBar It magically comes back!!! It might come back, but now you either have two FvwmTaskBar instances running because the other one is iconified, or you never iconified the first one to begin with. -- Thomas Adam

I have to migrate it to FvwmIconMan (by using two different instances of this class). I just have to migrate and test this approach. I will do it for sure anytime. Yesterday I only had one hour to piece together this solution (and used old code that already existed).

Seems ok now, I just have to train myself to remember to upper-case the first letter of my password As an aside, is there any chanve your MUA (or editor, if like me you use vim and mutt) could wrap its lines to 66 characters or so? At the moment I'm having to wrap your responses correctly as they're coming through all on one line which is bloody irritating. Hmmm, I've trained vim on my pine editor to unwrap, because I inhabit, unfortunately an increasingly non-unix world, and 66 line wraps look terrible in gmail, etc. I'll try to remember to reset textwidth when communicating in my preferred world! Perhaps irrelevant, since now I seem to be no longer locked out of the forum!!! -- Thomas Adam
