Open FvwmConsole and type > "KillModule FvwmAnimate" and then "Module FvwmAnimate". Thanks for your response, at least now I'm sure this behavior isn't normal. The module is running, I can see it in the process tree, but it does not animate my windows. The weird thing is, when I open the xterm and type 'gnome-panel &', after the panel starts, FvwmAnimate starts working just fine. What is even more weird, is that after you kill gnome-panel, FvwmAnimate continues to work, and the windows are animatedly iconified exactly in the direction, where the gnome-panel used to be! I'm guessing that -- without whichever gnome-panel seems to provide -- FvwmAnimate doesn't 'know' the animation 'direction' (that is up or down or whatever), and so doesn't do anything. It also doesn't write anything to .xsession-errors log, like other apps. I thought that maybe starting an FvwmIconBox, FvwmIconMan or FvwmTaskBar would give FvwmAnimate a sense of direction, but none of those helped. Can I do anything else to at least figure out where the problem lies? -- WBR, Andrei Popov Using FVWM 2.5.12
