Speaking of which, the fvwm2 package in RedHat 7.3 seems to be broken.
I could not get the titles on the buttons on my buttonbar to work. I
tried every possible format for setting the font and labeling the
buttons I could think of. Also there were no fonts shown in the pager.
Finally I dropped in the source: configure, make, make install and
everything is working fine.

The fvwm2 package in RedHat 6.2 and 7.2 seem to be fine.

Anybody else notice this? Anybody get it to work?

RedHat also dropped tin and xv starting with 7.1, two other programs I
can't live without. I'm starting to learn Debian for this and many
other reasons.
