I'm not positive what you mean when you say "error log," but I have used
the -debug option of fvwm2 and nothing of any signigcance seems to be
reported (if that is what that option is for, for that matter). I can
make fvwm respond with a few "Can not load FvwmButtons" errors for
whatever reason, but when I correct the problem, it returns to silence
and with no improvement. I have abandoned using config options in the
.fvwm2rc file altogether and am now using only the *FvwmButtonsFile
command to specify the file from which I get to do my groping.
The first time I try to invoke FvwmButtons is at startup with this
command:
AddToFunc "InitFunction" "I" Module FvwmButtons
then at restart with:
AddToFunc "RestartFunction" "I" Module FvwmButtons
next from a popup:
AddToMenu FvwmModules "Button-Bar" Module FvwmButtons
I can tell that it tries to load each time because when I purposely
misconfigure something, it gives me the error message. The ModulePath
is set correctly (no symlinks, even). The config file I am using is as
minimalist as I know to make it: no configuration options and only one
measly button. Although, I have tried it with several options including
size, color, buttons, location, etc. Nothing I change, other than
making it obviously 'wrong' seems to produce any kind of effect other
than making the error messages go away. I should note that when i do a
'ps' I can see the everything that is currently running in X, including
other modules, but not FvwmButtons. It simply isn't starting.
Anyone have any more ideas before I have to go back to fvwm1.xx?
