Thank you for replying.

This is a bit strange. FvwmCommandS does not get listed in the process list.

AddToFunc "InitFunction"
+ "I" Module FvwmAuto 500
+ "I" Module FvwmCommandS

AddToFunc "RestartFunction"
+ "I" Module FvwmAuto 500
+ "I" Module FvwmCommandS

In fact FvwmAuto is not running either. I followed the instruction in FVWM FAQ
(section 2.7) to run fvwm via a Gnome session. The only thing that is showing
up now is my fvwm menus defined in ~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc.

The display manager I am using is GDM. (Don't know if this info will help).
What is the bestway to trouble shoot GNOME and FVWM integration? The fvwm2
version is 2.4.0
