Running X4.3.0/gnome2. I wish to just run something like "xearth -root" but when I try this the program runs but the background stays the same. I assume there is something keeping the root window locked or some easy explanation. What should I do/look for to make -root work on X apps? --- Matt (matt@xtaz.co.uk) http://www.xtaz.co.uk/ --- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
