Mikhael, thak you a lot! You solved my problem:
I configured and compiled fvwm more than a month ago. By that time I did not pay
attention to the output of ./configure and probably it was without the xpm
support. My system changed since then, I installed many things and it seems,
also the xpm libraries, but I did not remember that (I am a Linux beginner so
sometimes I do strange things).
Recently that I finally decided to fix the fvwm icons problem, I re-run the
./configure to find out that I had the xpm support libraries, but I did not
re-run make install.
Now I cleaned and reinstalled all fvwm and all is fine, I have my icons!
I good lesson for me!
thank you
Jan
