Hello,

I'm using 2.5.2 . My config (the bits I think are relevant) is:

Style BarButtons NoTitle, NoHandles, Sticky, WindowListSkip,\
                    BorderWidth 4, CirculateSkip, StaysOnTop
Style SubPanel NoTitle, NoHandles, Sticky, WindowListSkip,\
                    BorderWidth 4, CirculateSkip, StaysOnTop

DestroyModuleConfig BarButtons: *
*BarButtons: Fore Black
*BarButtons: BoxSize smart
*BarButtons: Back #c3c3c3
*BarButtons: Frame 1
*BarButtons: Pixmap none


*BarButtons: Font -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
*BarButtons: Geometry 30x30-5+0_at_0
*SubPanel: Columns 1

*BarButtons: (Panel(left, delay 0, steps 4, position 100 270p) SubPanel
"Module FvwmButtons SubPanel") Icon mini.penguin.xpm

*SubPanel: (1x10 Swallow (NoClose, UseOld) licq 'Exec licq -p qt-gui&')
*SubPanel: Geometry 150x500-100+100
*SubPanel: (Swallow XClock 'Exec xclock -bg navy -fg white -digital
-update 1 -geometry 100x20&')
*SubPanel: (1x2 Swallow XLoad 'Exec xload -hl red -bg navy -fg white
-update 1 -jumpscroll 1 -label "CPU Load" &')
*SubPanel: (1x4 Swallow FvwmPager "FvwmPager 0 3")


I want the icon to appear in the top right of my second monitor (which I
believe should be referred to as 1), but for some reason I can only get
it to work if I put 0 in the geometry spec and make sure the pointer is
in screen 0 when FVWM (re)starts.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Andy
