smr-2.0.46.4
I know the man page says that this error means FvwmCommandS is not loaded. I
didn't misunderstand the error message, I just can't get the error message
to go away. As far as I can tell, I have the files properly installed, and I
invoke it properly in the rc file ("Module FvwmCommandS" on a line by itself
at the top of the file without the quotes), but FvwmCommandS just isn't
loading.
I would really appreciate help on this, because as far as I know, I did
everything right. I don't know what else to do. I've tried running FvwmTalk
and loading the FvwmCommandS module by hand, but it just fails. Is there any
way to see the error message from FvwmTalk? I just don't know what to do. I
tried giving no path, giving the full path, nothing works.
(I know my version is a little out of date, but I'm using a patched version
of fvwm2 and the patch hasn't been done for the latest version. I doubt the
patch is the problem, though, because someone else got FvwmCommandS to work
even with the same patched version. Unfortunately he hasn't been able to get
it to work on my system. We're both stumpted.)
