We have compiled and installed version 2.0.43 of FVWM. This window
manager seems to do everything one could wish to configure. This is
a great X-Window manager. Congratulation and praises to the developer.
We have one just a couple of problems that you may have a solution for
or may have already fixed.
1. It seems that FVWM is performing some sort of key translation before
it passes the key-code onto the application instead of giving the
application the keyboard focus. Basically I was unable to use the
numeric keypad or any of the other keys that are next to the keypad
(Pause, Page Up/Down, etc.) that the application required. We
put a print statement in the code to see what FVWM is sending. The
codes come out all right for the standard part of the keyboard except
for these keys and some on the L-key pad on the left side. Basicaly
copy/paste/cut/undo/again keys on the left side (L-key pad) would not
work like they do in CDE and OpenWindows. Would like help in solving
this problem.
2. The FvwmBacker does not seem to function. Here is the specification
that I am using in the .fvwm2rc file.
#*FvwmBackerDesk 0 -solid #aeb2c3
#*FvwmBackerDesk 0 -solid steelblue
#*FvwmBackerDesk 0 -solid midnightblue
*FvwmBackerDesk 0 xv -quit -root /usr1/gort/dennis/tmp/WaterDrops.xpm
