fvwm2 and fvwm95 are slow

Symptom:

fvwm2 and fvwm95 need too much time to start.

Cause:

If the packets 3dpixms and 3dpixm are installed, both fvwm2 and fvwm95, as the case may be, load hundreds of iconpixmaps during both the start and the restart. This can lead into a very long starting time in either old computers or computers with a small main memory.

Solution:

You can sort remedy out by three different ways:

The first way is simple: call YaST. Uninstall the above mentioned packets, relax. If you have an own-user configuration file, please actualise it from the menu with mksusewmrc.

To execute the third way, one calls from the menu mksusewmrc (can also produce an own configuration file) and replaces in all these menu entries, the icon statements containing:

  AddToMenu thiswmpopup "Fvwm2"   Title
  
  +       "Other windowmanagers%small.icon_warning_3d.xpm%" Popup 
otherwmpopup
  +       "Configuration%small.checklist2_3d.xpm%"           Popup 
susewmpopup
  +       ""                                                 Nop
  +       "Restart fvwm2%small.restart_suse_3d.xpm%"         Restart fvwm2
  +       "Exit fvwm2 and X%small.exit.xpm%"                 Function 
QuitSave
  
  # end popup thiswmpopup
by:
  AddToMenu thiswmpopup "Fvwm2"   Title
  
  +       "Other windowmanagers" Popup otherwmpopup
  +       "Configuration"         Popup susewmpopup
  +       ""                      Nop
  +       "Restart fvwm2"         Restart fvwm2
  +       "Exit fvwm2 und X"      Function QuitSave
  
  # end popup thiswmpopup
Both the fvwm2 and the fvwm95 should start essentially faster.
