Yeah, 'which' didn't seem to work before. The above works though.
 Seems FvwmTaskBar is causing the core dump. As I mentioned before,
once I add '-C TrueColor', or '-I 0x28' for that matter, FvwmTaskBar
craps out. Here's what happens when I run the above.

Reading fvwm
dbx: core object name "FvwmTaskBar" doesn't match object name "fvwm"
core file ignored. Use -f to force loading of corefile
dbx: warning: core file header read failed


When re-run with FvwmTaskBar path included:

Actually, using '-C TrueColor' does allow me to view pixmaps correctly
now under fvwm. It's just that once I add that option, I start
receiving those Errors and FvwmTaskBar core dumps. So, I correct one
problem, introduce more.

PrintInfo Colors output doesn't seem to be going to ~/.xsession-errors.
 Maybe I should try running another fvwm process on top of the existing
one from the command line, but redirect its output to another file. I
suppose this is kind of what you were instructing me to do before with
the '>'. Any ideas here?

Thanks,
Ben
