Hello All
If I execute a tcl script from the fvwm menu
that has the the following line:
"Tkxset" Exec exec /scripts/tkxset
It start up fine and works fine but when I push the "quit"
button which executes the following tcl procedure
#!/usr/local/bin/wish #<----- First line of script
..
..
proc quit {} {
destroy .
}
the button stays depressed and the whole root screen partially
freezes. Partially because the mouse is still working, but the
various applications do not respond. (i.e in focus-follows mouse
the xterms dont' change color as I move the mouse into them,
raising and lowering window or moving no longer works etc.)
Now if I'm clever I'll have two xterms
1) with the line: sh-2.05a# ps x
2) with the line: sh-2.05a# kill
I can add a carriage return to the "ps x", get the process
number (cut and paste) and add it to the kill and kill the
tk application. It does not kill the application!, or restore
the window manager. Every thing remains non-functional but the
usual sequence "cntrl-alt-backspace" still works so I can kill
the xserver and start again.
I have the following
(These comments apply to all tk/tcl applications)
1) Start tkset(just a tk/tcl application) from an xterm.
Works fine and exits fine.
2) Start from the root menu and use the window dropdown
...
...
Delete
Close <-- this partially hangs the window manager
Destroy <-- closes the application
...
...
I'm using
fvwm-2.4.8
linux-2.4.18
xwindows 4.20
glibc-2.2.5
gcc-3.0.4
no gnome
I suspect that the problem is not fvwm but
one of the other major subsystems, but who ?
I've been using fvwm for 5 or 6 years and
this is something new.

Ps I'm behind the great firewall of China and if
I subscribe to the list I tend to get weird things
happening like messages from the mailing list saying
that message are bounceing back with headers that say
" More than ten words matched. Rejected"
so if you could cc any replies it would be appreciated.
