When I run xdg_menu the "system tools" menu does not
contain the gnome-control-center.  As far as I can tell,
none of the menus lead to gnome-control-center.

Since gnome-control-center is needed even when you aren't
running gnome as your desktop I'd like for it to be in the
menus generated.

Okay, just found out why.  The menu entry is marked "NoDisplay".

i looked but i have to say i dont think i have enough knowledge to be helpful - 
i dont know alot of C and never have looked at xlib (if thats needed?) how 
difficult is xlib to learn? where would any one start?

or are there more simple tasks not on the lists you mentioned which could still 
be done? i am sure i can spend an hour or two doing something :)

thank you for letting me know - do you or any one else post announcement 
someplace for progress so that people like me can check on progress?

are you working on any thing at present for fvwm?

FVWM: lockup when moving/resizing windows

2010-12-18 Thread Jason Timrod
hi list -

sometimes for no reason i get fvwm lockups when moving or resizing windows. i 
think its fvwm??? if i resize a window the cursor changes and stays like it and 
i can do nothing until fvwm unfreezes

does fvwm log to a file so i can see if theres a ptoblem there?

is this a common problem? this happens a lot for me

i use fvwm 2.5.31 on ubuntu

thanks!

Jason

Sounds like a module read/write timeout

Fvwm logs to standard error. You may redirect it to a file when
starting fvwm. Depending on how you start fvwm it may already be
redirected.
