Hmm, all right.  I'll add a clause that 10 priority points should be
deducted for each of the enhancements (Debian menus, starting other
window managers) if the package does not support these features by default
after it is configured (i.e., the postinst has run).

But you mean to tell me wmx doesn't go looking in /etc/X11 for some
configuration if it doesn't find any in $HOME?  That's kind of weird.
