X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]
I'm trying to include my news reader (tin) in the tool bar in fvwm,
but when I click on the tool bar button for the news the window frame
is formed but it disapears when I place it on the desktop.
The line in my .fvwmrc is:
*GoodStuff News news.xpm Exec "News" xterm -g 95x40 -T News +sb -e /usr/local/bin/tin -r &
It works with anything that is in /usr/local/bin but not with tin. The
command itself, "xterm -g 95x40 -T News +sb -e /usr/local/bin/tin -r
&" works fine, which indicates that it's something with GoodStuff, but
as I said, GoodStuff works with everything else (elm, emacs, etc...),
which indicates it's a probelm with tin. I tried to redirect the
stderr to a file but the file came out empty.
I'm really puzzled about this. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
