Hi, thanks for the responses.

However, I was not clear enough in my original posting (which is included
below.) I get this bizzarre error when I ask fvwm to launch an xterm
WITHOUT any arguments. Everybody assumed that the problem was with the
arguments that I supplied, however, my 7 years of UNIX experience would
have allowed me to figure that one out. :) Here is a sample line from my
.fvwmrc file:

+ "Local" Exec xterm

This has me a little stumped, mostely because I don't want to go in and
start kacking the source code to see what is going on. I really should be
finishing my thesis. :)

Anyway,
Thanks for the resonpses so far.
-Greg
