Thanks for the pointer. Got 1.08 running...works great.

Now, a question about xearth... I have a line in my fvwm2rc file:

        AddToFunc InitFunction
                "I" Exec exec xearth -grid
                ...more things, including unclutter

I've just noticed that after I exit my fvwm session xearth is still
running. If I restart, I get a 2nd (3rd, etc) copy of xearth running.
I'm sure it didn't used to do this.... any idea why it doesn't want to
die. BTW, I tried with the -fork option and it didn't make any
difference.

I just tried it by starting xearth manually from an xterm, and it does
die when exiting fvwm. I'm using 2.2.
