1. I've seen the problem (and should fix it, since I'm the Debian maintainer for fvwm95) 2. The taskbar is being raised in a series of XMoveWindow calls, by two pixels each call. I can try to make that an option in the next Debian fvwm95 package; howver, there's much to do with getting Debian's versioning back in sync with the upstream source, among other things, so this may wait. 3. I don't know of a simple solution (I rarely use the TaskBarAutoHide myself.) I'll see if I can disable some X events on the TaskBar as it's moving, but this could cause other problems. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
