I think I'm going to cry. :`{

I can't get it to work. I applied all of Jarl's patches on my home
Linux box and it didn't do anything.

Here's my problems.

        #1 The Picture patch didn't work. This is still no good.

IconPath /adm/arwild01/.icons
PixmapPath /adm/arwild01/.icons

AddToMenu Xterms "XTerms" Title
+ "" Nop
+ "Local Xterm%starbase.xpm%" Exec color_xterm -name starbase &

I know the icons are there.

        #2 The New FvwmButtons does not appear at all. Some of the
child process are started. Using Jarl's samplebuttonsrc, I got the
xclock -bg darkolivegreen . . . But it never lauched the xbiff from what
I can tell.

The process *never* died. It jsut never became visual. It never
appeared in any win lists. Nor did xlsclients list it.

Here's the info from 110396b's start-up.

FvwmTest: Parsing...OK
FvwmTest: Shuffling...OK
FvwmTest: Loading data...

FvwmTest: Loading: Back to container 0x015f00, size 251x122, done.
FvwmTest: Creating windows...

I hope this leads to some resolution. I *really* want to use the new
FvwmButtons. The changes looks outstanding, but I can't get it to work.
:`{

Note: So far, I have tried Linux 1.2.13 and IBM AIX 3.2.5 I got
similiar behavior on both systems.
