I am getting the fvwm hanging on startup I suspect because I don;t have the game terminal - I am trying to run fvwm green and the install tells me that if I don’t have the terminal set correctly it will hang on startup:
3. You'll probably want to edit the fvwm2rc.variables file before starting fvwm.
Especially important is to specify the terminal that you use, otherwise you
will not get past the startup (fvwm will "hang"). If the terminal you specify
does not support the -name argument, you will have to find its argument that
provides similar functionality for the "game terminal" to work.I have made some changes to the variables and even the startup script to no avail?? Basically I don’t know which terminal to specify - here you can see that I have tried to specify gnome-terminal but either it is not able to take the -name arguement or I am getting all this completely wrong… The gnome-terminal works from a vanilla config.
TIA will

) I guess gnome-terminal does not support -name - I even tried it with -title based on what I found in the help.
