   FvwmButtons-110396b.tar must be installed on top of
FvwmButtons-110396.tar; it is missing Fvwm.tmpl. After
that, compiling went well.

   I knew there was a reason I bound some menus to the left
mouse button in the root window. :-) I know what working
with software in development is like.

   OK, here's the report, testing with the included sample:
after making a minor change -- changing jball.xpm to one I
had -- the startup messages look fine, as far as they go.
They end with 'Creating windows...', and I don't get the
'OK' after it. Also, an xclock is created, but nothing
further happens.

   I've tried removing the lines that swallow other programs
and get the same results, well, except for an xclock showing
up. Also, FvwmButtons is eating all the CPU it can while
it's hanging.

   If a trace would really help, I can see if I can get it
to dump core in the morning. Or, maybe that's enough. Good
luck. Even though I don't need any of the improvements, I'd
like to see it work.
