Thanks for the testing info. I had already done some testing using
Execs. I have now used your methods to confirm what I've thought. I've
verified that the Wait is passed, and that Next returns appropriately
(with both "W2000*" and "Wfica", btw). The problem is that the Move
doesn't work. However, xwininfo reports "Override redirection?: No" for
the window. Additionally, I can pull up FvwmTalk after the window has
loaded, and the Next..Move command will work.
I don't know much about X11, but I've got one possible explanation.
When the window first appears, it is centered on the screen. xwininfo
shows that the program supplies a location and a size. Is is possible
that the centering occurs after the Move 0 0 command executes, thereby
cancelling it out? If so, is there a way around this? The only other
explanation I have is a problem in Fvwm2.
