Reasonably sized attachments are OK on the mailing list.
We get them often. I'm cc'ing the list.

I gave you the command:
dbx `which fvwm2` core
it sounds like you ran:
dbx core
perhaps the "which" command isn't working right.
As I remember, you executed fvwm using the full path.
Try running it this way instead:
dbx /lsi/home/bsferraz/bin/fvwm-2.5.5/bin/fvwm core
then type in "where".

Hmm, one of the other developers will probably look at this.
I see you ran with -C Truecolor, but the cards first Truecolor
visual is 8 bit. I think that might be a problem.
It might be better to use the visualid as in:
-I 0x28
instead of
-C TrueColor

I'm sorry, I should know exactly where the CDE stderr ends up,
but I hated CDE so much, I just had it removed from my workstation.
I did run with it once...OK, I found it.
The fvwm output should be in $HOME/.xsession-errors

Well, you're not too exceptional, I was running fvwm on a Sun until about
a year ago, and I still support a bunch of users using Sun's.
One of the reasons I gave up on the Sun was the lack of 24 bit
color at a sufficiently high resolution. If I had a nice display
card like you do, I might still be using a Sun.
Nah, Linux is more fun.
