FVWM: No window with fvwm for dynamic geometry software CaRMetal

[jacques Faisant]

Dear all




I use fvwm(2) as window manager for my slackware 13.1, 64 bits.

But, with it, I never succeeded to run the Java dynamic geometry
software CaRMetal


http://db-maths.nuxit.net/CaRMetal/index_en.html

Only the splash window, with version number, will appear ; after this,
the software will stay waiting for a window.

But there is not such a fail neither with kde nor with windowmanager.

When using one of these WM, I noted that CaRMetal window has some
special features like no title and a sort of tile, outside, on the right
side ... Are these features available in fvwm ?

With -debug option, fvwm noted an empty string as name for the splash
and for the non-existant window of CaRMetal ; I tried


Style "*etal*" NoIcon,NoTitle,BorderWidth 0


in system.fvwm2rc ; there was no more message but no window !

Thank you for reading !

Version? If it's not the latest unstable release (2.5.31) - try again
using that.

Does this then fix the problem for you?
