Udo - many thanks for the reply. My problem is this:-
As I said earlier, I have read the docs, as well as the manpages! What
the doc about the system file says explicitly is that one should NOT do
what you are recommending, but instead to add user customizations via
hooks in the ~/.fvwm directory. Then the packaging system can update
menus and the system .fvwm2rc if it so wishes without codging up your
customisations.
That principle I understand!
There are examples of the various hook files, but they are rather brief
and the explanations are somewhat terse, so I am still a little hazy about
which sections of my customisations belong under which hook. Most can
clearly go into the post.hook.
So I asked for a few further examples. Still hoping!!
Sorry for not being clearer.
Thanks again
Glyn
