It provides a window into which you can type Fvwm configuration
commands. I use it for testing out the effect of commands (Style "Xterm"
Sticky) without needing to edit the config file and restart every time.
I saw something which gave me the impression it's in some sort of
"extras" directory in the fvwm source, but I only have the binary so I
can't check.
[Hmm, I just recalled that Debian 2.0 sources CD I had somewhere, check
on that - yes, it's in Fvwm2/extras/FvwmConsole/*. So I guess the real
question is, if I install the sources and compile this module myself,
where should I put it? I don't want to interfere with dpkg's handling of
the fvwm2 package, but I do want to keep my disk structure sensible...
Is there (or should there be) a fvwm2_extras package? I couldn't find
one...]
BTW, I just noticed that FvwmWharf is *also* in extras. I was also
planning on using that, for its "Folders" (expanding buttons). Looks
like I need to do some building of my own. Maybe I also need to consider
registering as a developer, to package these up. In at the deep end :-(
