Hi all,
I finally narrowed down the problem which is causing FvwmEvent and
FvwmTaskBar to core dump. RedHat 5.2 has defined in the file
fvwm2rc.modules.m4 a list of events under which audio should be played
which are NOT correct. The two I found which are present are
*FvwmAudio focus_change_window
*FvwmAudio toggle_paging
These are not listed for example in the FvwmEvent man page. Instead,
*FvwmEvent focus_change
is listed in the FvwmEvent man page. I don't know if something changed
with the core dist of fvwm or whether this problem was always present.
Essentially as I see it, the problem with version 2.2 (I assume from
Jacques' email that it is not present in version 2.3) has to do with how
it should handle the situation when it receives an in-appropriate
definition. You might try this for yourself, to see if I'm right. :-)
Just change from
*FvwmEvent focus_change boing.au
to
*FvwmEvent focus_change_window boing.au
and you should find on restarting fvwm that you get a core dump. I hope
this serves as a usefull note to other RedHat users.
Cheers,
Tom
Ps. Thanks to all for their help!
