I'm running Slackware 3.10 and when I use the default installation of X,
fvwm95 is set up as the window manager. If you bring up the utilities
menu you will find a submenu called "Modules". Under the Modules menu,
you find "Configure" with a small hammer icon. When clicking on
"Configure" nothing happens. When looking at the VC that X was started
from you get:
fvwm: No such module /usr/X11.../FvwmConfig
It seems as though the person who prepared the default .fvwm95rc either:
1) Forgot to include FvwmConfig with the
distribution.
2) Put it on the menu in anticipation.
3) Has a very bad sense of humor.
I'm hoping for #2. The ability to edit .fvwmrc and configure FVWM is
fantastic, however something like the Windows Control Panel would be
MUCH better! (Before the flames come: I HATE MS-WINDOWS of any flavor or
version (Including '95))
Does anyone know the scoop on fvwmconfig?????
