I don't think the location of pixmaps and such are a problem of X, but (trying to not sound like a jerk) why don't you just store all your pixmaps in the same dir, that way you can point to them from .fvwm2rc and you shouldn't have to worry about them anymore. .. I like fvwm2 also, I've tried qvwm, but it's a bit flakey. I'm not sure what you mean by the baker, but if you're looking to setup a type of wallpaper effect I find that xloadimage works fine for me. I'd post how I use it here, but I don't want to spread my "bad habits" around all over the net ;) .... ltr PS. have you tried Pine as a mail program, I find it can be quite conifgurable to your own personal needs. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - arthur@col.auracom.com In a world without fences, is there a need for gates --end-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
