ho,
the following has been a problem ever since i used fvwm (2.0.3x-2.0.41).
(SunOS 5.4, Generic July 1994, Sparc 1000)
i have xlock bound to a button in fvwmbutons:
*FvwmButtons - lock.xpm Exec "" exec xlock -mode random
i also have it as a menu item in my standard menu:
+ "XLock%mini.lock.xpm%" Exec nice /usr/openwin/bin/xlock -mode flame
which is actually copied from one of the .fvwmrc posted to this list
so i guess it worked there. in my .cshrc i have set:
alias xlock "xlock -mode random"
and this works fine whenever i call it from an xterm.
however, if i use either the button or the menu to call
xlock i get the following on stderr:
xlock: can't get the user password. Exiting ...
You need to run xlock in setuid root mode on your local machine.
Contact your system administrator.
but the permissions are as follows:
(sorg) ~ % ls -l /usr/openwin/bin/xlock
-rwsrwxr-x 1 root 87808 Jun 24 1994 /usr/openwin/bin/xlock*
any ideas??
about another bug/feature i reported earlier (but got no response):
whenever i move an icon in fvwmbuttons with the middle mousebutton
the module (fvwmbuttons) crashes. the following is from stderr:
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 12 (X_ConfigureWindow)
Resource id in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 3972
Current serial number in output stream: 3973
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 12 (X_ConfigureWindow)
Resource id in failed request: 0x180000a
Serial number of failed request: 686
Current serial number in output stream: 707
X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 62 (X_CopyArea)
Resource id in failed request: 0x2800015
Serial number of failed request: 1904
Current serial number in output stream: 1908
X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 65 (X_PolyLine)
Resource id in failed request: 0x200000a
Serial number of failed request: 634
Current serial number in output stream: 641
this may not all be related to the module crash as i tend to get
really a lot of these failed requests during any fvwm session.
what i'd like to know is: am i the only one seeing this or does this
happen with all fvwmbuttons?
