I've tried it with both fvwm95 & Enlightenment. Borrowed his CD today, but my best shot is to upgrade the packages, I simply can't start off from scratch (and I do not have any guarantees that it will work if I do that either). Shouldn't it be a way to figure out exactly what is happening? Another fellow on the list stated that there were several ways to check what was going on, one of them was to run strace on the ls command while running in a rxvt. Well, I did that, and posted the output on the list, but he (or anyone else for that matter) hasn't posted any comments on it. I'll attach it so you might look into it if you're familiar with strace. The problem seems, from my experiences, to be caused at a very low level (ie. not rxvt/windowmanager/xserver et cetera). I've looked at termcap/terminfo, stty, and even the System V init.. (Among many other things - too much to mention here anyway). I promise I will smile a big smile if I get this fixed. :-) -- ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\ | Martin Andersen -<x>- Inst. of Informatics, University of Bergen | | Hamre -<x>- s747 ii uib no | | 5240 Valestrand -<x>- PGP key available | | NORWAY -<x>- #include <disclaimer.h> | |=----------------------------------------------------------------=| | "Micro$oft: How many times do you want to reboot today?" | \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\|
