Every time I install a new package with dselect or with apt-get the fvwm get updated to 2.4.x. and then I can't login, the error is the same with the fixed font. I have to manually downgrade fvwm to 2.2.4 (hopefully I still have a *.deb for that). Try to compile fvwm manually In my case: 1. I did not compile fvwm myself. I use the *.deb file from woody. 2. I use locale ro_RO.ISO-8859-16. I use export LC_ALL=ro_RO export LANG=ro in .xinitrc no problems I think the locale for Romania should be ro_RO.ISO-8859-2. Is there any reason for using ro_RO.ISO-8859-16 ? 3. fvwm exits immediately. What errors are printed ? Try to redirect stderr from fvwm to a file. I also have compatibilities problems because I use fvwm 2.2.4-2 instead of 2.4.6-2. fvwm recommends fvwm-common, xlibs conflicts with fvwm-common. I think I need an older xlibs (I have 4.1.0-17). But I can't find, for instance 4.1.0-14. I never can exit from the dselect menu. I have to make a full upgrade and then dpkg -i fvwm_2.2.4-2.deb. Packages problems :-) If you compile it manually maybe you can fool debian that you have what he wants while still running your favourite version of fvwm.

It includes the euro sign and some other small changes AFAIK. I suppose fvwm-2.4.x exits when it does not find fixed *-iso8859-16 font. By the way these patches to replace searching for strictly fixed font were demanded by the Debian maintainer, I think he included these or similar patches before creating debs anyway. I hoped he or someone else will reply to other Debian specific questions asked in this thread. I don't have ro_RO.ISO-8859-16 locale on my system to test anything. Anyway the solution should be to use fonts existing in your locale or explicitely specify charset (like *-fixed-*-iso8859-2) when defining fonts, or switch to 2.5.x where i18n and font handling is much improved. But prepare to get warnings if the used fonts do not match your locale. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

Sorry, but i don't understand this: If such a patch was requested and applied why does the program exit after not finding one set of fixed fonts? ((There is only one errormsg /to be precise - one msg twice/, and also it is misleading as it does not specify that it is looking for /in my case/ *-iso8859-15 fonts.)) This also suggests that the maintainers are aware of (at least some) problems on this front. This is to put it very softly, as John did it earlier a bit naughty against all those stupid users like me. Imre -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

FVWM: .fvwm2rc syntax guide?
Is there a concise, authoritative guide to the proper syntax, organization and such of .fvwm2rc contents somewhere? What I see in the fvwm man page often conflicts with what's in the sample system.fvwm2rc file and the few pointers I do find in the man pages are scattered and terse, to say the least. Sorry if I sound frustrated, but I am... I've just spent 30 minutes or more with one MenuStyle line trying to get it to work (without success). Despite close to an hour's work, I've been unable to get FvwmTaskBar to appear at the bottom of the screen (despite following the examples from the man page). I can change the border widths and nothing ever happens. I've used the recommended geometry, but it always appears at the top of the screen. I'm light years away from doing anything useful with it, but at this rate I'll never get there. I'm having the do *EVERYTHIHG* by trial and error, since the man page is so vague (or maybe I'm just stupid...?). I'm rapidly reaching my frustration threshold before moving on to something else. There has to be somewhere a definition of exactly what is and isn't allowed configuration-wise, where specific entries need to go, recommended order, syntax restrictions, case-sensitivity, etc., etc. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. I really like the speed and small size of fvwm, but the appalling lack of documentation is about to convince me to look elsewhere...

re: xview program resize delay
Hmmmon the 20020817 snap, i'm finding that on opening new windows, i'm getting blocked from focusing windows. No matter what i click into, it wont take focus. Turns out i need a Modifierclick to get focus after a map. Using clicktofocus mode. Traced this to focus.c __check_allow_focus xview appears to want to refuse focus in order to get focus. (?) xview window often has sf == NULL. Hence __check_allow_focus returns True and xview window doesnt get focus. I added if (sf == NULL) return False; // xview may have this condition and now xview is getting focus. I dont get itbut it seems to work. Also, on WindowList ShowPage, it shows the page being viewed rather than the page each window is on. I use sprintf(loc,%d ,((t-frame_g.x) + Scr.Vx)/Scr.MyDisplayWidth); I have a 1-D pager, so i only show one number. I also always show it to the left of the title.
