I have no problem with editing config files. I put a special "config"
button in my Buttons to open .fvwm2rc .
OK. I downloaded,, compiled, copied it from the build machine, and ran it.
There are some nice improvements. But the size has increased.
The windows list does not strike me as a good default: it lacks an
indication of whether the window is minimized, for instance.
The "select on release" does not appear to be working.
When I press Enter I get the message:
[FVWM][execute_function]: <<ERROR>> No such command 'WindowListFunc'
and nothing happens.
After I added the definition of WindowListFunc from ConfigFvwmDefaults all
I needed was to press enter.
And anyway, the original problem was not resolved: When I set my original
mapping of Alt-Tab, it still won't cycle through the list of windows: it
only advances in the list, and won't advance beyond the last window in the
list.
Is this a bug with me or is it a feature and I'm not reading the man page
correctly?

For solaris? :(
