Hey all,
I've just installed RH 9.0 on my system. Window managers like Gnome work
fine. Wanting to get back to fvwm, I've pulled down version 2.4.16 and
compiled it, no compile errors. Configure showed:
FVWM Configuration:
Version: 2.4.16
Executables: /usr/local/bin
Man pages: /usr/local/man
Modules: /usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.16
Data files: /usr/local/share/fvwm
With GNOME Window Manager hints? yes
With GTK support for FvwmGtk? no: Failed to detect GTK, see config.log
With Multibyte support? no: Use --enable-multibyte to enable
With ReadLine sup. in FvwmConsole? yes
With RPlay support in FvwmEvent? no: Can't find working librplay
With Shaped window support? yes
With Session Management support? yes
With Stroke support? no: Can't find working libstroke
With Xinerama support? yes
With XPM support? yes
When I fire up fvwm, whether with all defaults or with my own .fvwm2rc,
all windows fire up and work. However once fvwm is up and running any menu
I bring up is blank. The background is correctly set to whatever Background
is set to in .fvwm2rc but there's no text. The "hotspots" are there and
working properly, I just can't see what I'm clicking on.
Running fvwm -debug shows immediate errors:

Anytime the pointer crosses a window boundary this gets logged:

Whenever I try to bring up a menu I see a rash of:

Also, the buttonbox comes up but dies after a second. There is no buttonbox
bark of any kind that I can see being output via debug. The buttonbox is
sucked in via read /home/schultz/.fvwm/ConfigFvwmButtons and so far contains
merely:
*FvwmButtonsBoxSize fixed
*FvwmButtonsBack blue
*FvwmButtons: Columns 1
*FvwmButtonsGeometry +0+200
*FvwmButtons: (2x2, Frame 2, Swallow(UseOld) "Inline" "Module FvwmPager Inline 0 0")
*FvwmButtons(NoSize Title Galeon, Icon wingdogs, Action `exec /usr/bin/galeon`)
*FvwmButtons(NoSize Title XChat, Icon mini.ear.xpm, Action `exec /usr/bin/xchat`)
*FvwmButtons(NoSize Title Close, Icon bomb.xpm, Action Close)
*FvwmButtons(NoSize Title Xterm, Icon xterm.xpm, Action `exec xterm -fn "-schumacher-*-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" -geometry 87x73 -sb -sl 4000 -ls &`)
*FvwmButtons(Size 50 50 Swallow(Respawn,NoHints) xclock 'exec xclock &')
#*FvwmButtons(End)
Anybody have any ideas or pointers on where to find out what the errors mean
and what's happening to the buttonbox and menus?
