CDE on Solaris? If so I've noted the following:
I think the .xinitrc MUST be bourne shell ..... Watch out for
the "odd" fontpath adopted by Solaris2 which makes netscape bold fonts (among
others look pretty "squished"). Here is my .xinitrc for what it's worth
( fvwm2 is in my path and the .fvwm2rc is in my home ) with the fonts ajusted
...
The only "unsolved" problem I've come accross to-date is the xterm font
resize ( cntl+right mouse -> unreadable ) obliterates the text in the
bufffer on resize. All other fonts are ok.
(Incidently, I tried the CDE installation manual's method of using the
resource variable set to fvwm. It worked fine but when you exit fvwm
you are left "stranded" with no way to logout!)
