after just installing xorg6.8.2 (through gentoo), i'm having a problem with all the programs that require the XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 flag. these are the usual suspects: xmms, gmplayer, and firefox. my problem is this: while i can start these applications from the console, i can NOT start them from an icon/button that calls the function. i'm using fvwm, so for me that would be a function string for fvwm, which would look like this: 'Exec exec XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 xmms' this does exactly the same thing as running that command from the console, so i don't know why it wouldn't work. incidentally, i have the same problem with openoffice (though it doesn't require the XLIB-... string): i can only initialize it from a console. any suggestions? thanks, EE
# i=`which xmms` # mv $i $i.orig # echo "XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 $i.orig" > $i # chmod a+x $i in other words, make a wrapper script.
