Which is why I made that 'extras' directory. I have to think more
about how to properly build & install FvwmConsole. Plus the current
version doesn't work on some platforms, I believe. When those are
solved I'll move it back into the modules directory.
As a side note, Toshi has a newer version for me that works better and
on more (all?) platforms, but he no longer is at that same email
address and has limited access so I haven't heard back from him yet.
I hope to get that newer verson in 2.1.0.

Yup, that problem is "fixed" (thanks to a change that Rob suggested
that I had forgotten about but luckily someone else on the list,
having difficulties remembering who right now, reminded me of). I
have "fixed" in quotes because I'm not overly crazy about the fix, but
it'll work for now and I'll investigate different solutions later as I
can.
And speaking of race condition bugs, I think I'll have the problem w/
some windows that were started in the .xinitrc before fvwm not getting
style conditions at startup that some people see solved for 2.1.0. I
know what the problem is, I just have to figure out the best way to
attack it without breaking anything else (and I think I have an
acceptable, safe solution in mind right now). I may post a patch for
it early for people to test.

Does my heart good to hear reports like this... :)
Later,
Chuck
