FVWM: List of windows in a menu
Hello, I'd like to have a root menu item that opens a submenu listing every window. In other words, each item in the submenu would represent one window and I'd be able to click it to switch to the selected window. Is this possible? When I run WindowList from the root menu, it creates and "detaches" a submenu containing the list. I don't want that. By the way, congrats on the 2.6.0 release! :) Thanks.
FVWM: OpenOffice & LibreOffice crashing w/ opensuse's fvwm2-2.5.26-47.1.i586
Before I trouble anyone with details, is this already a known issue? When OpenOffice is first started during a session, it dies silently. Next time, it dies and java, OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.7) (suse-1.2.1-i386), also crashes with a lengthy crash report. When LibreOffice is started, whether it's the first or subsequent times, it dies silently. Both work OK w/ gnome & kde4 but I'm not using (and don't want to use) either one. I haven't tried using Ooo w/ fvwm for a year or so. It worked back then. thanks in advance, jd --

Using FvwmWindowMenu, I believe so.

I've never had a problem, but do try using FVWM 2.6.1
Oh, and this is all moot without a corefile, so if you can get one of
those... You'll need to compile FVWM with debug symbols, setting "-g -ggdb"
in CFLAGS, for instance.

Umm, given it's *shipped* with FVWM, uses things *shipped* with FVWM, but
requires perl, which is not unreasonable at all, I fail to see what else
there is for you to do to "reconsider". Just what is your perceived
problem?

I was just looking for a more "compact" solution. My configs are minimalist to the maximum. > I fail to see what else there is for you to do to "reconsider" My objectives and the way to achieve them. I'm making a few changes to my config file and I'll just do it differently than what I first had in mind. Really, it's no big deal.
