Hello,
There is no bugs in fvwm here (I think). If you check "Use Nautilus to
draw the desktop" Nautilus put a window onto the root window so there
is no more root window that you can click on, there is the desktop
window. With 2.5 you can try:
Mouse 1 D N Popup RootMenu Nop
Mouse 3 D N WindowList OnlyIcons, UseIconName
D is a new binding context for "desktop" (this may not work with
the Nautilus shipped with RedHet 7.2, but this work with a GNOME2
Nautilus which respect a certain protocole). However, if you (or
someone else) want that Nautilus manages the "desktop" I think you
want that Nautilus manages mouse buttons on the desktop window. So,
it is prefereable to use:
Mouse 1 D M Popup RootMenu Nop
Mouse 3 D M WindowList OnlyIcons, UseIconName
i.e., get your fvwm menus by adding a modifier (seems that
Alt+Mouse is not used by Nautilus neither by kdesktop (KDE
version >= 2)). Of course, the solution you use (removing
the desktop window) seems good too for me. I do not
understand the interset of these desktop window and desktop
icons :o)
