[snip] Dan refers in his statement to the new fvwm-menu-desktop located in the CVS version of FVWM. If you want to use it, you need from CVS: - fvwm-menu-desktop (new Python based xdg menu generator) => copy it to /usr/bin/ - fvwm-menu-desktop-config.fpl (configuration GUI) => copy it to /usr/share/fvwm/ - fvwm-menu-desktop.1 (new man page) => copy it to /usr/share/man/man1/ Or you could download it from here (if you won't follow the CVS instructions from the FVWM web page): https://github.com/Fvwm-Nightshade/Fvwm-Nightshade/blob/release-0.6/bin/fvwm-menu-desktop2 https://github.com/Fvwm-Nightshade/Fvwm-Nightshade/blob/release-0.6/fvwm/fvwm-menu-desktop2-config.fpl https://github.com/Fvwm-Nightshade/Fvwm-Nightshade/blob/release-0.6/man/fvwm-menu-desktop2.1.gz Add this to your config: # Dynamic menu realized with DynamicPopupAction AddToMenu MenuRoot DynamicPopupAction FuncMenuRoot DestroyFunc FuncMenuRoot AddToFunc FuncMenuRoot + I DestroyMenu MenuRoot + I AddToMenu MenuRoot DynamicPopupAction MenuRoot + I AddToMenu MenuRoot "$[gt.Root Menu]" Title + I Popup FvwmMenu + I AddToMenu MenuRoot "" Nop # Remark: FuncMenuRoot exchanges your current root menu.

Is this a fvwm problem, or > a TightVNCViewer problem? I haven't any experience with VNC but in Virtualbox this happens, too if FVWM has more than one virtual pages defined and page scrolling is active. So e.g you move your cursor out of the left window FVWM switch to the left available page and your xterm 'disappears'. Try to click your middle mouse button. Often the windowlist is binded to it. If so you see a list of available windows. By clicking one you choose it. To disable page scrolling search in your config for 'EdgeScroll' and change it to EdgeScroll 0 0 Hope this helps. -- Thomas -- -- -- "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe." -- Albert Einstein signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: FVWM: Question about Gradients on windows decor
Hi Thomas, >This should have been sent to f...@fvwm.org -- please don't ask me questions >about FVWM off-list.
