AddToFunc "InitFunction" "I" Exec xsetroot -solid lightpink3
+ "I" Exec xsetroot -cursor_name iron_cross
+ "I" Module FvwmAuto 500
+ "I" Module FvwmPager 0 0

AddToFunc "RestartFunction" "I" Exec xsetroot -solid lightpink3
+ "I" Exec xsetroot -cursor_name iron_cross
+ "I" Module FvwmAuto 500
+ "I" Module FvwmPager 0 0
+ "I" Module FvwmCommandS

Then towards the end of the .fvwm2rc file, I extend the function as
follows:

AddToFunc InitFunction "I" Desk 0 0
+ "I" Exec xterm -geometry 80x45+2145+1 -name News
+ "I" Exec xterm -geometry 80x35+47+15 -name Email -iconic
+ "I" Exec xterm -geometry 81x44+2061+726 -name Pumbaa
+ "I" Exec xterm -geometry 80x27+2287+844 -name Pumbaa
+ "I" Exec xterm -geometry 80x44+6+4 -name Pumbaa
+ "I" Function Decorwin95
+ "I" Module FvwmCommandS

Does it matter that I am splitting the InitFunction definition? The other
commands in the InitFunction are fine. I do indeed get all my xterms and my
Win95 decor.

As I said, I also have the following modules menu. FvwmCommandS works fine
when I launch it from:

AddToMenu "Module-Popup" "Modules" Title
+ "Buttons" Module FvwmButtons
+ "Clean-Up" Module FvwmClean
+ "Task bar" Module FvwmTaskBar
+ "Identify" Module FvwmIdent
+ "Save Desktop" Module FvwmSaveDesk
+ "Pager" Module FvwmPager 0 0
+ "Command Server" Module FvwmCommandS

No.

Thanks,
