I vaguely recall running into this. Some versions of FvwmBacker require you to put Exec in front of any command you specify in the resources, while some don't. Here's what I mean: *FvwmBackerDesk 0 Exec xv -root -quit -ncols 85 /home/marquard/pictures/nick.tif *FvwmBackerDesk 1 Exec xv -root -quit -ncols 85 /home/marquard/pictures/thor0.tif *FvwmBackerDesk 2 Exec xv -root -quit -ncols 85 /home/marquard/pictures/thor1.tif *FvwmBackerDesk 3 Exec xv -root -quit -ncols 85 /home/marquard/pictures/thor2.tif *FvwmBackerDesk 4 Exec xpmroot /home/marquard/textures/circle_weave.xpm *FvwmBackerDesk 5 Exec xpmroot /home/marquard/textures/concrete.xpm *FvwmBackerDesk 6 Exec xpmroot /home/marquard/textures/rough.xpm *FvwmBackerDesk 7 Exec xpmroot /home/marquard/textures/weave-red.xpm *FvwmBackerDesk 8 Exec xpmroot /home/marquard/textures/xenon.xpm You might try playing with this. -Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
