We also need someone to do something, and less talking about it... Implementing something like install-fvwm2menu for other window managers may or may not be easy, but it will certainly take some time. install-fvwm2menu is there, it exists, it can be used, and it solves the problem for most people, since fvwm2 is a really popular window manager. The two things that need to be changed in the install-fvwm2menu interface are: 1. The name needs to be changed to install-menu. 2. The last argument should be just the command to execute (using /bin/sh); install-fvwm2menu allows any fvwm command to be given (since that is also necessary, but not relevant for most packages). install-fvwm2menu already has an argument for an icon. I haven't really advertised it, because it isn't important. Getting as many packages as possible to use install-fvwm2menu is important. Once install-menu becomes a reality, it will be easy to change the packages to use that instead (you delete "fvwm2" and "Exec "). Come spring (or whenever install-menu is finished), we can do that change easily. About icons: fvwm-common has a few tens of mini-icons. I think they're from the set that has been converted to have the same size (14x14 or 16x16, I don't remember which) and use a smallish common set of colors. There's a few other icons of the same size floating around. Fvwm2 sources (used to) have a program for unifiying the colors. Need a new icon? Find it and send it to our fvwm maintainer. -- Please read <http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html> before mailing me. Please don't Cc: me when replying to my message on a mailing list.
