Success:~> WindowMaker new 'applications' menu ROCKS !

[Adam Bogacki <afb@paradise.net.nz>]

Yay ! It works !

I had some trouble with themes not installing correctly - I often had to 
manually put files into their individual
directories and some simply did not work when installed. Also, 
wmakerconf kept crashing. Once I had manually (!)
deleted them I slept on it and this morning ran /genmenu/, then 
/wmakerconf/ - and it worked !

To make it even sweeter, the WMaker menu updates from Geir Thorstein 
Kristiansen's (gtk's) website also worked.

Now to get Mutt going again ...

Thanks guys,
