I'm going to try to fish the old Firefox icon out of my old FreeBSD system. If I can find it, then I'll try to see if I can get fvwm to use it as you've instructed. If all else fails, I suppose that I can always RTFM, although I didn't (and don't) really know anything at all about this EWMH you mentioned. (But Google is my friend.) Hummm... did a find on my old system's /usr directory, searching for .png files, and I found several candidates that may be what I'm looking for, but I don't know which one is the Right One. I guess that it might help if I knew the size of the icon that fvwm on the new system was using to represent Opera. That's the size I want. So, how can I figure out the location, in the file system, of the icon that fvwm is using (on the new system I am configuring) for the Opera browser? I looked at a couple of man pages and didn't files any FILES sections at the end. :-( Regards, rfg P.S. I've just -quickly- glanced at the man page for fvwm. I think that it is marvelous that someone went to all of the trouble to well and properly document this tool. However, that having been said, please forgive me for just noting that in all of my multiple decades of using UNIX systems, this has got to be, by far, the single biggest/longest man page that I personally have ever seen. That's -not- a bad thing. More documentation is almost always better documentation. It's just a bit bewildering for a casual user, such as myself, who doesn't really have a year or two to become familiar with all of this stuff. But I guess that's why this mailing list exists, eh?
