I find this problem very strange, but apparently we are the only
ones who have experienced this. Besides you nobody even sent a
remark on my problem.
Maybe we did something wrong in configuring, but I wouldn't know what?!
Or is it something in the config file?! I am at the end of my wits. :-(
By the way, I *do* get a process id when I call "fvwm2 &":
hamster:~>fvwm2 &
[1] 2951
But then I have to kill it (using mouse copy&paste) in order to
do anything after starting fvwm. :-((
Thanks for your mail,
Andy.
