After a bit of fiddling, I finally have Fvwm working on my Potato system. It seems that a symlink needed to be made from /etc/X11/fvwm to /etc/X11/fvwm2 (if I recall).
However, I still have one glitch that needs to be worked out. When I launch a program, I always get an outline of the window and have to click to place it on the desktop. I'd like to get Fvwm working so that it will automatically place windows just as it did in Slink, and as other window managers do in Potato. I've been fiddling with WindowMaker some, but at this point I'd rather keep using Fvwm. The system is Debian 2.2 / fvwm 2.2.4 (from the .deb). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
