Actually I found it simpler to change the calls to cfree to calls to free in the xview source - there's only two files where it's used. When I get some time, I'll try and submit a patch, and perhaps also do one for the old-style paths in olvwm (/usr/lib/X11 and the like) and the menus I use for it. Cheers James
