Thanks to all of you for your suggestions/pointers. What happened is that I had made a typo which I couldn't easily detect in the heat of battle. It was all your suggestions that made me take a thorough look at my startup files. Lo and behold, there it was, a "TYPO". .fvwmrc2 instead of .fvwm2rc Again, thanks for the help. -Nesi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
