Description Brock Organ 2000-02-02 22:21:57 UTC
Here is a sample session:

% strace /usr/X11R6/bin/RunWM Fvwm95 2>&1 | tee RunWM.trouble
execve("/usr/X11R6/bin/RunWM", ["/usr/X11R6/bin/RunWM", "Fvwm95"], [/* 24
vars */]) = 0
brk(0)                                  = 0x80994c0

(... boring stuff removed ...)

rt_sigaction(SIGTERM, NULL, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGTERM, {0x805d8d0, [], SA_INTERRUPT|0x4000000}, NULL, 8) = 0
wait4(-1, NULL, WNOHANG, NULL)          = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
write(2, "[FVWM][main]: <<ERROR>> ", 24) = 24
write(2, "can\'t open display ", 19)    = 19
write(2, "\n", 1)                       = 1
_exit(1)                                = ?

RunWM isn't meant to be run directly, but instead only in conjunction with the
AnotherLevel X startup stuff.
