What exactly should I do to set up fvwm? Thanks. When I wanted to setup my fvwm up, I copied Eric Raymonds' .fvwmrc and edited the thing manually. It's simpler than the examples that come with fvwm's sources, for both fvwm and fvwm2. Start looking for ESR's fvwmrc at http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/ and you'll find it quickly. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public PGP key: finger keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr PGP fingerprint, phone and address in the headers of this message.
