colors for debian menus



If this gets added to fvwm and the other window managers, then all the
discussion about colors maps for icons on the debian menus will be resolved.

I don't believe the icons have  been changed to  use a standard set of
colors, but I  recently submitted a patch  to the  "workers list" that
change's the icons colors to a "standard" set as they are displayed.

This would allow users  with 24 bit  color to display icons as-is, and
users with 8 bit color to restrict colors as desired.

I think   this is a  superior  solution,  and  hope that my  patch  is
included in the next release.
