OK, Thanks, so its not my local environment then.

Nor me either, I tried all this to narrow it down:
{
I tried fvwm -debug & ls -ltr /var/log
& tinkering with original RC file, & patching out bits of system.fvwmrc,
assuming something failing around
*GoodStuff - clock.xpm Swallow "xclock" xclock -bg \#908090 -geometry -1500-1500 -padding 0
*GoodStuff(4x1) - whatever SwallowModule "FvwmPager" FvwmPager 0 3
but no luck, I didn't persevere, as I noted:
cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm/files/ ; /bin/ls -1 | wc -l # 41
cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm2/files/ ; /bin/ls -1 | wc -l # 2
so wondered if you'd had problems feeding back to fvwm.org, & if I should
just move to fvwm2 & customise from there ?

Differ from what ? another earlier that works ?

.........^^ If there's a missing Not implied there ?
Then I have a spare 386 box I could upgrade to test on: uname -a
FreeBSD sony.js.berklix.net 7.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.4-RELEASE
#0: Fri Jul 8 01:32:40 CEST 2011
jhs@sony.js.berklix.net:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
Its unlikely to be 386 related I guess, as
my system.fvwmrc runs on all from {FreeBSD-4.11 to 8.2 } {586 & amd } OK.
The amd64 laptop I'm testing on has 3 boot partitions with 9.1-RELEASE,
9.0-RELEASE & 8.3-RELEASE I just re-installed Version 1.24r on all
3, & starting with both default /usr/local/lib/X11/fvwm/system.fvwmrc &
my customised system.fvwmrc, I am seeing the same problem on all 6
combinations of 3 x OS-version x 2 x RC files :
No lines as in pictures at:
http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/freebsd/ports/jhs/x11-wm/fvwm/debug/
My desktop, also an amd64, with 8.2-RELEASE is OK.
from both {8.2 am64 desktop} & a {7.4 i386 ) I can get lines OK on my
amd64 9.1-rel OK with
setenv DISPLAY lapr:0
fvwm
}
Maybe something is being installed/ damaged/ shared between
/usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm[2]
not cleaned by make deinstall ?
cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm; make deinstall
===> Deinstalling for x11-wm/fvwm
===> fvwm-1.24r_4 has a different PREFIX:
/ad6s4/release/9.1-RELEASE/local, skipping
cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm2; make deinstall
===> Deinstalling for x11-wm/fvwm2
===> fvwm-2.6.5_1 has a different PREFIX:
/ad6s4/release/9.1-RELEASE/local, skipping
pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/fvwm-2.6.5_1;
cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm; make reinstall
worked but didn't help remove anything hidden interfering.
I took a quick look at various bits of http://fvwm.org/
Should we ask there ? Or would answer just be "Try 2.x"
Cheers,
Julian
