problems with fvwm

[Imre Vida <Imre.Vida@anat.uni-freiburg.de>]

Hi,

i have recently discovered fvwm 
well OK i knew about it for quit a long time
but now i recognized how well one can customize it

Now, my serious problem:

i can't get fvwm started by xdm
it seems to crash the X server (blank screen 
followed by the login in screen again)
there are some error messages about fonts
not found in .xsession-errors but nothing else

if i start an xterm first then i can launch fvwm
(of course with the same error messages so i guess
they are not the reason for the crash)


further questions:
- why can't fvwm find the fonts?
they are definitely there

- i can't 'combine' vertical and horizontal 
maximization of a window: doing one after the other
switches back to the original size. this is not 
exactly what i expected. why is it so?


could you please give me some advice on this 
problems - thanks
