KDE and dual monitors didn't do well together in SuSE 5.3 days, so I learned fvwm2. SuSE 8.2 has the newest stable fvwm2 desktop, but some things fell out: 1) the SuSE menu-button doesn't have YAST2 in its pulldown menue :-(( 2) I can't read the new colorful xclock on my 1280x1024 screen, even on a really nice NEC 21" monitor. 3) The left-mousebutton pulldown menue lost the "xterm" command. Up through SuSE 7.x, there was an ".fvwm2rc" in the /home/user directory so I could change these things. Question: What (and where) is the configuration information for fvwm2 stored now? There are definite improvements. The "Create Configuration File" makes fvwm2 grab newly added software and add to its right-mousekey menues. I like it. SuSE 8.2 makes it rather easy to have Windowless offices. :-))

You probably should look in /usr/share/doc/packages/fvwm2 and look at the sample fvwm2rc files. You should copy one of the samples to your home dir. There used to be a menu item, to configure fvwm2, which made a fvwm2rc file in your homedir, otherwise it uses the systemwide default (but I can't seem to remember where it is on my 8.1 system). -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
