Thanks for replying. I am trying to configure FVWM2 with GTK and GNOME with the following
configure options,

(0)root_at_myhost:~/src/fvwm-2.3.20 => ./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6 --exec-prefix=/usr/X11R6
--with-xpm-library=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-xpm-includes=/usr/include/X11 --enable-dmalloc
--enable-debug-msgs --with-x --with-gtk-prefix=/usr --with-gtk-exec-prefix=/usr --with-gnome=/usr/bin
--with-gnome-libs=/usr/lib --with-gnome-includes=/usr/include

At the end of the configure script, I get the following output,

  FVWM Version: 2.3.20

  Have ReadLine support? yes
  Have RPlay support? no
  Have Stroke support? no
  Have XPM support? yes
  Have GTK support? yes
  Have GNOME Window Manager support? no
  Have Session Management support? yes

Why is GNOME Window Manager support being set to "no"?
Do the --with-gnome* options require a path? The configure script "--help" option does not
seem to indicate that requirement. If so, then how do I determine the GNOME libs path and
includes path?

Thank you in advance for any help.
