[Bug 242015] New: Default .fvwm2rc file in the FVWM package is idiotic.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242015 Summary: Default .fvwm2rc file in the FVWM package is idiotic. Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: unspecified Platform: Other URL: http://starshine.org/xteddy/thomas OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: thomas.adam22@gmail.com QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com The system.fvwm2rc file included with the SuSE package is incredibly old and uses deprecated syntax. In fact, I am amazed it even works at all from looking at it. I've patched it to bring in in-line with FVWM 2.5.X which is what SuSE ships with. Please see: http://starshine.org/xteddy/thomas/fvwm/patches/suse-system.fvwm2rc.patch Which applies against the current openSusE src RPM for FVWM, AFAIK. Note that I haven't been a SuSE user since the 6.4 version days. Hopefully this will benefit the SuSE community overall. -- 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.

Your work is a benefit for community. Would you mind to attach system.fvwm2rc file instead of patch? Your patch is not against current system file, it will save me a work rewriting it. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242015 ------- Comment #4 from lmichnovic@novell.com 2007-02-13 08:30 MST ------- I've created latest fvwm package with your proposal of system file. If you want, you can download it from here http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/lmich/openSUSE_10.2/repodata/rep... Older version of Suse than 10.2 are also aviable http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/lmich/SUSE_Linux_10.0/repodata/r... http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/lmich/SUSE_Linux_10.1/repodata/r... I don't know why "Exec fvwm-root imagefile" does not place the image on the background. We use xli instead. -- 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.

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.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242015 ------- Comment #6 from lmichnovic@novell.com 2007-02-13 09:14 MST ------- Well, using xli is not the best, but in the case, that backgrounds are stored only in jpg and not in png, it is a good workaround. The fvwm-root works with png files, but not with jpeg files. I made a mistake in fvwm2-0-2.5.21-3.1.rpm for SL 10.1 and 10.0 these links are better http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/lmich/SUSE_Linux_10.1/repodata/r... http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/lmich/SUSE_Linux_10.0/repodata/r... -- 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.
