1) I am at this point using 2.5.2 more or less because I have to.
I used a very early version of fvmw for years with no problems
and then upgraded to xwindows 4.2 which caused significant problems
with the mouse-menu interaction. An upgrade to fvwm-2.4.8 did not
solve the problems whereas the alpha version fvwm-2.5.2 did. I've
used fvwm-2.5.2 for a while now and for my use it works fine.
With fvwm-2.5.3 the problems started again.
2) It looks like the following are not getting execute permission
when installed. For instance:
sh-2.05b# fvwm-bug
sh: /usr/local/bin/fvwm-bug: Permission denied
A chmod fixes it.
fvwm-bug
fvwm-config
fvwm-convert-2.4
fvwm-convert-2.6
fvwm-menu-desktop
fvwm-menu-directory
fvwm-menu-headlines
fvwm-menu-xlock
fvwm-perllib
3) I built with the following configure options
--enable-debug-msgs
--enable-command-log
and it builds fine but I don't understand where the messages
get piped to. syslogd? an fvwm console?
