I think the handling of ~/.fvwmrc has been changed some day, and it's now filtered through m4 before being evaluated. Due to this, some special kludge is needed. I forgot what it was exactly (it's on my machine at work, while i'm running an ancient fvwm here at home), but you can find it in the `official' /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm/system.fvwmrc. It was something with includes. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
