< i tried fvwm2.5.8 on solaris8.
<
< configured options:
< > fvwm-config -s
< gettext
< gtk
< gdk-imlib
< perllib
< png
< readline
< shape
< shm
< sm
< xpm
<
<
< The build went OK, but after installing and restarting the probelms began:
<
< 1) Very slow startup
< 2) FvwmPager is very slow on showing mini icons
< 3) Menus are drawn VERY slowly. (all menus, static and dynamic)
< 4) icons in menus are sometimes wrongly drawn (have some "noise" on them)
<
< It seems that fvwm2.5.8 runs significantly slowly than 2.5.7 (2.5.7 was as fast as a lightning).

<
< finaly i had to recompile 2.5.7 (same options) and return to the older version...
<
< Did anyone else encounter the problems ???

Yes. 258 on solaris 8
Doing *anything* was so slow that it took a loooong time just to get my
menu to switch me back to 257, which then ran ok.

I did have to add --with-iconv-library=no and hand remove debian from
the Makefile list to get it to compile....things i didnt have to do for 257.
