Any help would be much appreciated - here are the details - vncserver version - vnc/E4.4.2/vncserver
fvwm2 version - fvwm2/2.5.17/bin/fvwm2 OS version - Linux 2.6.16.60-0.58.1.1882.3.PTF.638363-smp (gcc 4.1.2 20070115) em64t architecture fvwm2 comes up fine, but the buttonbar at the bottom of the screen ( with the desktops etc ) has disappeared ! THis is obviously important, since I need the multiple desktops, sigh. Here's the relevant .fvwm2rc snippet - ################## FvwmButtons button-bar ################################ *FvwmButtonsRows 10 *FvwmButtonsBoxSize smart *FvwmButtonsFrame 1 *FvwmButtonsGeometry +275-1 *FvwmButtonsPadding 0 0 *FvwmButtonsBack gray60 *FvwmButtons(14x10 Container(Rows 10 Columns 10, Padding 0 0) *FvwmButtons(1x10 Container(Rows 10 Columns 1) *FvwmButtons(1x2 Icon Fpmin.m.pm) *FvwmButtons(1x8 Icon jf.xpm) *FvwmButtons(End) ... ########## PANELS *FvwmButtonsPanel Plogout *FvwmButtonsColumns 1 *FvwmButtonsFrame 1 *FvwmButtonsPadding 4 0 *FvwmButtonsBack gray60 *FvwmButtons(Left, Icon mini-cross.xpm, Title(Side) QUIT, Fore red, Action Quit) *FvwmButtons(Left, Icon mini-turn.xpm, Title(Side) restart, \ Action 'Restart fvwm2') # *FvwmButtons(Left, Icon Fplock.s.pm, Title(Side) 'Lock Screen', \ # Action 'Exec xscreensaver-command -lock') ...
