I had the same problem. I solved it by renaming ~/.xsession to ~/.xinitrc and ~/.Xresources to ~/.Xdefaults (or rather made symlinks) and then it worked just fine. (somewhat unrelated: I noticed that the new fvwm2 package has it's modules in a new location, /usr/X11R6/lib/fvwm2/fvwm/2.1.10/ rather than /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm2/ which did break my custom config (easy fix though)) -- ---------------------------------- + Peter Granroth + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] + + http://193.10.242.45 + ----------------------------------
