Message-Id: <E10t5Yq-0000CK-00@portaloo.hairnet>
Sender: Edward Betts <edward@hairnet.demon.co.uk>
Package: lesstif-bin
Version: 1:0.88.1-2
Severity: normal
The mwm menumethod file stores the menu in /etc/X11/mwm/system.mwmrc and in
~/.mwm/system.mwmrc, however mwm is not looking for either of these files an
strace looks like this:
access("/home/edward/.mwmrc", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/home/edward/.mwmrc", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/etc/X11/mwm/.mwmrc", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/etc/X11/mwm/.mwmrc", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/mwm/system.mwmrc", R_OK) = 0
So whether /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/mwm/system.mwmrc should be replaced with a
symlink to /etc/X11/mwm/system.mwmrc or the menu method should be changed to
create /etc/X11/mwm/.mwmrc and ~/.mwmrc
Another interesting thing is this in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Mwm:
*configFile: .mwmrc
I wonder whether changing that in the Debian package would help.

Since no other methods seem to try to extract paths from executables or
resources, I think it is reasonable for mwm-menumethod to store config files
where mwm was compiled to look for them.
