i just upgraded from fvwm95 (2.0.43d) to the current release of 2.4.15.
i've successfully updated all my configs, and everything seems to be
running nicely.
redhat 8.0 uses the package consolehelper/usermode to route specific
authentication requests through pam. in 2.0.43 (calling the needed
program with a simple "exec" statement - like 'exec kppp'), the gnome
popup would appear, ask for the root password, accept/deny, and run the
program as appropriate. i'm now finding that when i use the new format
('Exec exec kppp'), i get a nifty popup saying "Invalid Call to Subprocess".
i'm sure this is probably a simple config issue, and although i know i
could modify each entry in the 'menus' config file, i'm hoping there is
a global method to solve this.
btw, i'm running an out-of-the-box version of redhat 8.0. i downloaded
the source for 2.4.15, compiled it with defaults, and installed. i
modified/added entries for gdm to call fvwm directly, so i'm not using
any gnome session-management. ideally, i'd like to keep them as
separate as possible.
any ideas?
thanks,
Tony
