Re: FVWM: Can't move a window?

    Thanks for your help, but that doesn't seem to quite fix the
problem. The Style is actually working. I only mentioned it in case it
had an impact. It's the Windows2000 function that's causing problems.
The Exec line works, and the Wait line waits as expected (tested by
putting debug lines before and after). However, the Next line fails to
move the window, though it does in the function Foobar. I can't
understand the difference.

    I did run FvwmIdent. The Name and Icon Name are both "W2000
Desktop (2)". The Class and Resource are both "Wfica". I went ahead
and tried using Next ("Wfica"), but that didn't seem to work, either.

    Any more suggestions?

Thanks,
Bob
