Get FVWM 2.6.1. And then read FAQ #0.1: http://fvwm.org/documentation/faq/#0.1 And then see if this problem, should it still persis having read FAQ #0.1, to see what happens running FVWM outside of GNOME, and this might also be a factor. Should you be able to reproduce it, I'd like to see the output from "xev" having pressed the keys on it which should work, but do not. -- Thomas Adam -- "Deep in my heart I wish I was wrong.
