Until that's done, however, packages should use install-fvwm2menu. Adding the functionality of fvwm2's system.fvwm2rc is a bit of work. Someone should start work on that soon, if we want to have it ready for 1.3. (Don't look at me -- I already did it for fvwm2 ;-) fvwm95 is probably simple; you should be able to use most of fvwm2's setup. > It seems to me these changes are really easy, are quite general, so > that it will enable us to also make a menu for VC's and whatever > when we like it. There's a few issues that need thought, which makes it not quite easy. Also, the implementation will probably need quite a bit of work and testing. Until there's support for this menu structure in anything but fvwm2, I fear we won't see too much happening. Anyone interested in working on fvwm95 and twm, at least? I'm happy to discuss the design. I really want an automatic Apps menu for Debian. -- 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.
