Configuration General Questions

In my current config i’ve got two autohided panels. Wallpaper changer is swallowed inside one of them. After I change the wallpaper the other panel width is change to 1. Everything is work fine if the autohide is switched off.

Not FVWM’s fault, from what I can tell. Might be a driver issue. Oh, can you please not use 2.7.0 and use 2.6.1?

Video driver? Currently I use ati-driver 11.4 (HD5770). I will try different version, and the radeon driver too.

Ok, changed to 2.6.1

After removed the ‘RootTransparent buffer’ option from the colorsets the problem is gone.

[code]cat .fvwm/Colorsets

IconTitleColorset

Colorset 7 bg black, RootTransparent, fg black

Maybe fvwm related.

No – and you need to learn that patience is a virtue. If/when I do look in to this, I will post here to let you know.
