you have to log out from gui-client, then edit objects.C, then
fwstop; fwstart, then log on with the gui-client again.

take care to use good editors, like vi (vim :), to edit the object.C
file -- it will never try to change anything in the file behind your
back (like wrapping long lines, appending ctrl-Z or changing the line
endings). Make a diff between the original file's backup and the edited
file to see what exactly you changed, maybe you can repair the problem
somehow.

cd $FWDIR/conf; fwm -g *.W
