Re: FVWM: fvwm2/twm losing PS1 (unix prompt setting) !?

My guess is that the reason for your problem is that
the xterm from inside the window manager is not started
in the correct environment. Nobody actually unsets PS1.
What you get is probably the default bash prompt because
PS1 is empty when the shell starts. Having a look at
which variables are actually set might help.

>From the console set

foo=bar
export foo

and start X, fvwm2 and an X terminal, verify if foo is
still set and post the result.

Bye

Dominik
