Hi Micha,

: With the converted rpm for Tk::PNG version 2.003 it gives a message
: that it can't find Tk::PNG with a self compiled version (2.005) it just
: crashes, no messages.

I'm not sure I understand this, but to find out if its the PNG module
causing problems you can simply remove "Tk::PNG" from the use line in
the FvwmTabs source code. FvwmTabs will spit out lots of errors every
time it tries to load a .png image, but it should still function.

: On startup the following output is given, on crash no output:

That all looks pretty sane, except the last line is probably truncated.

What does FvwmTabs output on stdout/stderr?

In my ~/.xsession file I do a:

exec fvwm >& $HOME/.fvwm/.errorLog

& then any FvwmTabs errors go to ~/.fvwm/.errorLog.
Default would be ~/.xsession-errors? (or is that only stderr? not sure.)

Anyway, I'm interested in a line like:

FvwmTabs (v3.1) started with: Perl 5.8.0, X11::Protocol 0.53, Tk 804.025.

& anything else FvwmTabs might say.

Also, what version of FVWM are you using?

If you're really keen to help out, try & catch me on #fvwm
(IRC: freenode.net - my nick is "scottie7") & we can experiment with a
few things.

SCoTT. :)
