Thanks for the reply. I can send you the script but I'm not sure
of the need. I was going to write to the tk/tcl people about the
problem, but first I thought I would see if there were any new
versions. There was so I upgraded from tcl8.4a3 to tcl8.4a4,
likewise with tk and the problem went away. I rebuild the entire
system from source every week and at one point tcl8.4a3 and fvwm
were working fine. Then one week something (probably a new glib)
broke tcl8.4a3. At first I thought it was fvwm-2.4.8, but I went
back to an older version, tcl was still broken, so it wasn't fvwm.
As I say tcl8.4a4 fixed the problem. As far as the script goes,
all tcl/tk scripts were broken on that term signal. I imagine that
the tcl/tk people know about the problem but it does seem strange
that there is a lib/tcl/gcc/... combination where signals are not
working properly. If you need to know more about this problem let me
know and I can restore the old tcl again.
