MACHINE : Sun
OS : SunOS 5.5.1
uname -a: SunOS pinkpanther.llnl.gov 5.5.1 Generic sun4c sparc SUNW,Sun_4_40
X11 : X11R6.1
COMPILER: /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc
FVWM : fvwm-2.0.43



When fvwm2 starts up, it always creates double copies of the modules
(I have selected to run) and itself:

When I perform a restart it complains there is another window manager
running:


[FVWM][Done]: <<ERROR>> Call of 'fvwm' failed!!!!
[FVWM][CatchRedirectError]: <<ERROR>> another WM is running


It occasionally crashes after a restart.

Do you have any tips, solutions, or suggestions?
