speaking of fvwm on solaris, has anyone gotten 2.0.42 to work properly with 
sun's X server? we've got a box here with solaris 2.5, CDE, and i built 2.0.42 
for it/no errors with sparc compiler 4.0.  i put it in no-window-manager mode 
(this is a CDE thing), and run fvwm2 and it hangs -- mouse still works but i 
can't type a thing and no window manager starts.  i have to telnet in and kill 
fvwm to do anything again.  fvwm 1.24 i also compiled but it runs no problem.  
also, if i run fvwm2 from my linux box i'm set (nfs mount so definitely same 
config file...) -- any ideas?
