there still is 'the timing bug' in module restarts:
fvwmbuttons needs time to unswallow its subwindows, or they're not mapped,
when the new FvwmButtons is started.
If the new button bar cannot find a mapped clock, it starts a new one.
simple and difficult to handle.
I had exactly the same symptoms. I now use:
AddToFunc ExitFunction "I" KillModule FvwmButtons
+ "I" FvwmBanner
+ "I" Wait FvwmBanner
the FvwmBanner / Wait FvwmBanner provides time for the old windows to be
mapped
----->> i had the same thing in my ExitFunction, but ever since 2.0.44
(and including 2.0.45, where this is supposed to be fixed, i
thought...), the Wait hangs. it kills the FvwmButtons, displays the
FvwmBanner, the FvwmBanner goes away, and then nothing happens. period.
What really perplexes me, however, is that someone at my site is using a
.fvwm2rc based on mine, is using a copy of the same binary i'm using,
and it works for him. i can send copies of both rc files, if anyone's
interested...
i'm running 2.0.45 on:
* DEC Ultrix 4.3
* Digital Unix (OSF/1) 3.2
* Irix 5.3
this problem occurs on all three platforms. i tried making an rc with
just an exit function that looked like:
AddToFunc ExitFunction
+ I Module FvwmBanner
+ I Wait FvwmBanner
and a menu that restarted fvwm2, bound to mouse button 1 in the root
window. i still got the hang. any ideas?
