- I've got this behavior when I first tried the new version of tvtwm
- (i.e. the one using M4 to read .twmrc).
- Try changing your .twmrc with a new one with just a menu, and see if
- it works then. I guess the problem I had was due to a limitation in
- the number of lines M4 can process, or something related.
- It is probably the same thing for you.

- Hope it helps
