You have fvwm2 installed, but you aren't running it. By default, X uses twm as the window manager if you don't run one yourself. If you are using startx, then create a .xinitrc file containing the following: ---------8<--------- #!/bin/sh exec fvwm2 ---------8<--------- If you are using xdm, then put that in .xession in your home directory instead. -- John Baldwin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
