This is probably a dumb question, and maybe this isn't the right
place for it, but I can't find the answer in any of the archives. How
does one get FvwmButtons to display icons? I can only get text on the
buttons that launch the programs, even if I try tiny pixmaps.
Also, is there a way to control the geometry of buttons other than by
specifying the geometry of the whole button bar? It would be nice
if oclock didn't get squashed into an oval.
Here's the relevant portion of my .fvwmrc. BTW, I'm on Solaris2.4.
BTW2, yes, I've tried Tkgoodstuff. It's really cool, but I don't care
for the way it uses the Pager - tho' maybe I could hack the Pager
client to do what I want. My Buttons module has great potential, if I
can only get it to work :-)
