Re: Upgraded to FVWM 2.5 and I need help.
I am also running fvwm 2.5.12 on a Sarge system with kernel 2.6.8.

Hi,
I recently upgraded from fvwm 2.5 from 2.4.x because I can no longer
find fvwm 2.4.x in stable.
Since the upgrade, I noticed a couple of issues that I hope you can
help to fix.
1) Each time I switch to a window on a different virtual area, it
takes an unually long time before the
switch happens. However after a few switches, I can quickly get
back and forth. But, the swithcing fast
as long as I am only doing that. If I do anything else, the same
delay comes back.
This sounds like you could use some more memory. I had similar
problems, especially once my wife started using a seperate account and
we both had X running. Switching from one X session to another could
take half a minute, or more. Then switching to another window was
almost as bad. After that it would speed up. Sometimes, just trying to
switch window I would think that the system was completely hung. Then I
added more memory. I had 256MB and I added another 1GB. Switching
between X sessions is quick and painless now, and I only barely touched
my swap file once in the last two weeks.
2) I used move windows by pressing and holding left botton on the
title and moving. Now I have to press
and leave the button then move it and then press the button again.
Is there a way to go back to my
old way of moving windows.
My system still does the standard drag and drop.
3) VNC viewer does not work with fvwm 2.5. Is there a known work around.
I don't use VNC, so I can't add anything there.
