Hi Dominik and thanks for answering.
I can live without the double click feature, but I cannot exactly figure
out what you mean by saying that FvwmButtons stay pressed while the
application is waiting to load.

I have a couple of FvwmButtons bars on my desktop and all the buttons
within them are associated with application icons (background is transparent
so that icons appear to be lined up directly on desktop): for example I
have xterm, gvim, konqueror, opera (and so forth) pixmaps grouped within a
vertical FvwmButtons bar I use to launch the corresponding applications.

I cannot see any change in those icons when I start each application.


Does the FvwmButtons feature you were referring to apply to buttons with
application icons?

Do I need to provide a "pressed down" version of those icons?

Thanks a lot

Sergio
