Re: FVWM: FvwmButtons problems..

Ok, I removed ButtonGeometry and it's all good now. I have another question,
what if I want to have one row with a bunch of swallowed apps of different
geometries? How do I do that? Like for instance, I want xosview to have be
wider than the other swallowed apps.. is there a way to set it for that
individual app?

Btw, I keep getting an error in my fvwm2 log saying "Bad style option: NoBorder", when I look this up in the fvwm2 man page, it says it was part of 1.xx. I'm also a bit confused by the difference between handles and borders. I suppose handles are just the parts around the window that let you do some move/resize/user config thing? And borders are around the handles? Please explain.

Thanks again

PS: I hope I'm not killing all your time with my silly questions :(
