I have the line below in my ".fvwm2rc". The idea is to give my a
quick menu of hosts to run applications on... I bound it to
mouse-3 by
Mouse 3 R A Module FvwmForm Xrsh
Unfortunately the form doesn't work! Well to be precise it works
only for the first host listed and for "localhost". All the
others run on the local host!! It seems the the name "Hostname"
only gets a value on the first choice (when that is set....)
I think Forms is a great idea, but frankly I am a bit confused by
the syntax, which is not too logical in my humble opinion. For
example what is the purpose of the first argment to
"*FvwmFormSelection" (is it not redundant?)? Can't the same
`name' be used for several selections with different values
assigned (if not, why not?)
Anyway can someone explain to me why my "Xrsh" form doesn't work?
Thanks, Jens
