I'm running on Sun Solaris 2.5.1..


Other fvwm Quit behavior i notice is that if my cmdtool starts a background
script that loops forever (w/ an embedded "sleep"), if i quit fvwm w/o killing either the script or the "sleep", fvwm wont terminate.
I now get around it by doing the kills as part of my Quit function.

fvwm is started as the last line in a .xinitrc ("exec fvwm2").

Anything obvious about why?

Thanx
