Version: 2.0.46-BETA-2
Hi,
I notice that a new fvwm2-plus package appeared on the
archive. However, we already had an fvwm2 package, and the older
package seems to be a newer version too (beta 3 vs beta 2). There is
no explanation what the differences are, apart from a reference in
the long description about "some unofficial patches, such as Icon
Gravity."
I looked in the /usr/doc directories, but I still se no real
explanation, but the information seems to be identical.
Olease attach an explanation of the patches, and, if possible,
include the patches in the doc area if they are small enough so one
has a better idea about what this is all about.
