[Magick-bugs] ImageMarick 6.3.2-8 issue with fvwm2

[Rich Cook]

You need to find out what it means to "launch from an fvwm2 window  
manager."  What does it do exactly?
One way to do this is to create a shell script, call it "display" and  
put it in your PATH before ImageMagick's display.  Put the following  
in the script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo display launched on $(date) as $0 $* > $HOME/display.debug

Be sure to make this script executable:
chmod 755 display

Now try to "launch from within fvwm2" .  A file called display.debug  
should appear in your home directory.  If not, temporarily move the  
"real" display program to display.backup and replace it with the  
script from above.  If that doesn't work,  then fvwm2 is not actually  
running display and your problem is with fvwm2, which it actually is  
anyway.
