FVWM: lockup when moving/resizing windows

[Jason Timrod]

hi list -

sometimes for no reason i get fvwm lockups when moving or resizing windows. i think its fvwm??? if i resize a window the cursor changes and stays like it and i can do nothing until fvwm unfreezes

does fvwm log to a file so i can see if theres a ptoblem there?

is this a common problem? this happens a lot for me

i use fvwm 2.5.31 on ubuntu

thanks!

Sounds like a module read/write timeout

Fvwm logs to standard error. You may redirect it to a file when
starting fvwm. Depending on how you start fvwm it may already be
redirected.

Set:

ModuleTimeout 1

Does this make things easier? If it's as persistent as you're claiming, I
bet you've got FvwmConsole always open. This currently is one such way to
intermittently reproduce this problem -- and the patch I sent to
fvwm-workers@ recently was meant to suggest the symtoms and workaround for
this.

Of course, that hasn't happened.

this has fixed it, i think. thnaks.
