I don't know why "Exec fvwm-root imagefile" does not place the image on the background. We use xli instead.
I suspect because you're trying to load a JPG file which FVWM doesn't have support for. Or, you're simply attempting a literal command of: Exec exec fvwm-root file.png Which, without the actual path to file.png will result in the file most likely never being found. The CVS version of FVWM makes fvwm-root at least search the ImagePath, so this at least increases the likelihood of file.png being found if it exists in the ImagePath for instance. Or, you're using FVWM 2.4.X which doesn't have fvwm-root, but rather xpm-root, which just loads XPM files, oddly enough. Using xli really isn't the best way to go, IMO. Look again at fvwm-root (with possibly the '-r' flag) and/or at least the FvwmBacker module if you want to go down that route. -- Thomas Adam -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
