Where I can read about this "complex string"? I try to add
a "\" in front of the 8bit letter, also a  (Ctrl-V), is not
working.

man -k "complex string" give no answer and in man xterm I
can't find complex string either.

Hmmm. As I said I have not problem with fvwm, in fact if I open the
script from the fvwm menu, that is OK. If I execute the script directly,
then I have problems.

This I get also with setenv. They are OK, this is what I set myself.

My .login (I use tcsh) and .cshrc are read OK.

Yes.

No. I don't think so. But I can try.

If I replace

+ "e-mail%mini-mail.xpm%" Exec exec ~/bin/mail

with

+ "e-mail%mini-mail.xpm%" ExecUseShell /usr/bin/tcsh exec ~/bin/mail

I don't get anything by pressing the mouse over e-mail,
and in .xsession-errors I have:

stdin: is not a tty

If I replace that with

+ "e-mail%mini-mail.xpm%" ExecUseShell /usr/bin/tcsh ~/bin/mail

Then it is the same as the first time: OK.
