Hi, I'm having build problems with this. I think the escaping of the
definitions on the gcc command line is going a bit wrong:

gcc -fpcc-struct-return -c -O2 -I. -I../libs -I/usr/local/X11R6/include -DSHAPE -DXPM -DFVWM_ICONDIR=\"/usr/local/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps \:/usr/local/X11R6/include/X11/fvwm/bitmaps\" -DFVWMDIR=\"/usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm2\" -DFVWMRC=\".fvwm2rc\" builtins.c
gcc: :/usr/local/X11R6/include/X11/fvwm/bitmaps": No such file or directory
builtins.c:0: unterminated string or character constant
builtins.c:0: possible real start of unterminated constant

In Fvwm.tmpl I have:

#define FvwmIconPath /usr/local/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps \:/usr/local/X11R6/inc
lude/X11/fvwm/bitmaps

However if I remove the space in front of the colon it builds correctly.
Perhaps a comment to this effect in the .tmpl file would be useful?

Also we are having problem with swallowing stuff into the FvwmButtons
module. I'm getting people to upgrade to version2, and even after a lot
of hacking he can't get it to work with version2. Here the relevant section
of his config is given below. Any help would be much appreciated.

        Best wishes,

                Richard.
