Hi all,
Eric thank you very much for releasing the 5Dwm binaries.
Just a few things I noticed:
1. Installation from inside X11 didn't work. My xterm kept on crashing.
Installation from a text console outside of X11 worked fine.
2. $(HOME)/.chestrc doesn;t overrule the system.chestrc defaults.
3. mxterm doesn't start if I modify the following line in system.chestrc
"Open Unix Shell" f.checkexec.sh.le "mxterm -fn
-sgi-screen-medium-r-normal-*-*-150-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1 -cr green"
to
"Open Unix Shell" f.checkexec.sh.le "mxterm -geometry 80x40 -fn
-sgi-screen-medium-r-normal-*-*-150-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1 -cr green"
mxterm works fine in that geometry if started from a mxterm prompt.
4. tellwm doesn't work on my system.
this is what happens:
avi@legolas:~/tmp/dist/5dwm/imd4linux.desktop.foundation.beta1/src>
/usr/lib/desktop/tellwm
/usr/lib/desktop/tellwm: relocation error: /usr/lib/desktop/tellwm:
undefined symbol: display
ldd gives us:

5. There are a few minor cosmetic things in toolchest and mxterm, but on
the whole it looks quite promising ;)
Keep up the good work,
grts,

PS. I'm running 2.4.21-rc1-ac3 with XFree 4.3 from CVS on a largely
self-compiled system based on SuSE 8.1
