Subject: Window Managers for X11 (fwm2, mwm, twm)

Hi all,

I have cygwin B20.1 on a W95B laptop computer, and
I am using the free X server from MicroImages.
I usually lauch 'xs.exe' from the desktop (by
clicking on an appropriate icon), then from a bash
shell I use one of the following window managers
(by the way, are there others around ?) :
1. mwm &
2. fvwm2 &
3. twm &
Well, I have problems with each of them.

When I use the first one, I have troubles at start
up :

> helios:~$ mwm &
> [1] 1086
> helios:~$ Warning: Cannot convert string "variable" to type FontStruct
> Cannot find configuration file.  Using builtin defaults.
>  at line 0
> Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
> Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
> Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
> Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
>

So, what is going on ?
Beside, each time I want to start an application,
I have :

> helios:~$     0       0 [main] D:\USR\CYGNUS\BIN\BASH.EXE 1088 handle_exceptions
> : Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
>     0    1166 [main] BASH 1088 handle_exceptions: Dumping stack trace to BASH.EX
> E.core
> Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
> Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
> Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
>
with a BASH.EXE.core on my starting directoty.

When I try the second, I have :

> helios:~$ [GetFontOrFixed]: WARNING -- can't get font -adobe-times-bold-r-*-*-14
> -*-*-*-*-*-*-*, trying 'fixed'
>
I suspect a font installation problem. How to
solve that ?

When I try the third one, I have no problem,
except with 'xterm' :

> helios:~$ xterm &
> [2] 1107
> " to type FontStructannot convert string "nil2
>
Is it really a problem ? I don't know.

Could anyone send me suggestions, share
experience, give me some hints and so on. The
archive list contains few things about these
topics, really few things...

Thanks in advance.
