I must be jinxed...
Performing the same chages listed below, and substituting for the sound
playing program as
AddToFunc "myplay" "I" Exec exec /usr/local/bin/play /usr/share/sound/$0
I've also tried substituting wavplay (the sound files are .wav files) with
the same result.
I still get a core dump. What's worse, the FvwmEvent man pages suggest
simple examles of using FvwmEvent, like echo-ing a string to the terminal.
Even this simple example from the man pages causes a core dump for me. Is
it possible I'm missing something big? or even little... I should say
that I'm trying this with fvwm2.2.046 and fvwm2.2.2
I'm going to dig through the FAQ again now for some simple examples of
using FvwmEvent, can anyone think of some which might be indicative of the
problem I'm having?
Thanks,
