speaking of fvwm on solaris, has anyone gotten 2.0.42 to work properly with
sun's X server? we've got a box here with solaris 2.5, CDE, and i built 2.0.42
for it/no errors with sparc compiler 4.0. i put it in no-window-manager mode
(this is a CDE thing), and run fvwm2 and it hangs -- mouse still works but i
can't type a thing and no window manager starts. i have to telnet in and kill
fvwm to do anything again. fvwm 1.24 i also compiled but it runs no problem.
also, if i run fvwm2 from my linux box i'm set (nfs mount so definitely same
config file...) -- any ideas?
