Torsmo also does not start sometimes in JWM. I like that jwm uses 5% less memory than Fluxbox, but I occasionally need to restart the icons and torsmo with it, but never with Fluxbox. Also Xvesa works great on my old Toshiba Satellite pro 480CDT, but doesn't work so well with my new X2gen 19" LCD monitor on my newer 3 year old computer with a Nvidia MX400 agp card. On that the screen is skewed about 20 pixels to the left at the top of the screen. It returns that way even after I adjust the monitor manually and restart.

doobit,

1. Does your jwm issue only happen on your new faster machine?
I don't see it on my old slow boxes.

2. nvidia has known issues with tinyX. See the post under X.

Torsmo moves to the left a tiny amount

It is the CPU % going from 0% to 100& together with it being combined with number of processes being displayed.
Since .torsmorc is a simple text file, you can cut the line and make CPU% and Processes on separate lines to avoid this annoyance.
Maybe suggest your alternative.

I'm having the problem with jwm on the older machine, not the newer machine. The problem with the icons and Torsmo seem to be related. They happen the same time. I have to un Torsmo at the command line and restart x or use the icon manager to get the icons back.
