And you've confirmed that's the version of FVWM you're actually starting? i.e., it's found in your $PATH?
yes(checked with fvwm -V), and anyway, I first purged the Debian package
I would do the following: 1. Comment out the "Style xclock NoTitle" line from your config and restart FVWM, ensuring you close any other instance of xclock first. 2. Open FvwmConsole [1] 3. Run xclock 4. In to FvwmConsole, type this: Style xclock !Title ... and tell me what happens. -- Thomas Adam [1] I didn't see this in your config, so you'll have to add it to your StartFunction or bind it to a menu or a key binding, since this must be spawned by FVWM.
it's one of the 4 fvwm buttons That worked, and with "read debug" also, but the behaviour is much more complicated (a good way to drive somebody crazy!) 1/ with FvwmConsole, all parameters work(Title, Sticky,..)...but StaysOnTOP 2/ with "Fvwm restart", only Title/Notitle works, i.e. is taken into account without restarting xclock. To check that it's not an xclock related problem, I tried also with xdvi: same behaviuor. And I tried also on my new laptop, on which I have a freshly installed Squeeze: same thing. , Anyway, as it works by restarting the application, it's a minor bug, and it doesn't deserve spending too much time on it. Thanks for your help. -- Pierre Frenkiel
