Hello, world!

Some questions concerning fvwm window manager:

I tried to add some programs (ie Netscape, PPP start) to the
fvwm GoodStuff button bar.
Generally, it works. But the new button remains pressed down,
until I restart fvwm. I added the new ones the following way:

*GoodStuff XV           xv.xpm          Exec "xv" xv -8 &
*GoodStuff PPP-on       zyxel.xpm       Exec "uni-ppp_0" uni-ppp_0 &
*GoodStuff PPP-off      zyxel2.xpm      Exec "ppp-off" ppp-off &
*GoodStuff NETSCAPE     mozilla.xpm     Exec "netscape" /home/netscape_2.01/netscape &

What's wrong??? What's the meaning of the term in the quotation
marks? With XV, everything works fine.

Another question concerning xpaint:

I tried to edit a xpm-icon for my Linux fvwm window manager.
Normally, the icons are displayed without their surrounding background.
When editing something at an icon, a rectangular background is always dis-
played in the GoodStuff button bar. How can I tell xpaint to create an xpm
icon without background (or an icon, whose background is not displayed
in fvwm)?

Many thanks in advance for sending me a short note via email,

The words in quots is what GoodStuff looks for as the title of the window
that pops up so that it can raise the button that you pressed.  When you
hit the xv button, a window pops up with xv as the title so GoodStuff
knows it's done it's job.  With the other things, no window ever pops up
with the given title, so GoodStuff thinks it's still working.  To solve
this, simply use "" as the title name (I think this works :)
