Yes I finally got fvwm compiled and running last night.
Looks very nice and uses fewwer resources than either
of the others which is a benefit for me with only 8M.
Maybe its the way I ve got it set up but it seems to be
page orientated i.e. moving the ccursor to the edge
jumps a whole "page" and wont let you move out of the
region of 4 pages in the panner display, you have
to click the mouse in the next "region" to
do this. I suppose it is time to RT*M !
Thanks Jess,
Jon
