HellO! I finally installed the new ratpoison and discovered something I should have noted before my mail...

Because of > this, if I should depend on a menu, I'll go for ratmenu. /me should have checked the ratpoison dependencies, too. In fact, ratpoison already pulls libxext6 as a dependency, so the fact that 9menu requires it or not is irrelevant, thus resulting in 9menu as the tiniest solution for a menu. > From a first point of view, I just tried both menus for the first > time and the only difference is that after executing a menu command > ratmenu exits, while 9menu waits for another one and so on. OK, now that I use Escape-. to call the menu, 9menu exits as soon as I choose a menu command. > Moreover, there're no other informations in the > /usr/share/doc/9menu/README (and a README.Debian doesn't exist). While this is still true, the major problem is on ratpoison side: news about the menu command and keybinding are present only in the Escape-? output and in the /usr/share/doc/ratpoison/README.Debian (even if in the latter case they are "hidden" in the patch explanation). The man page doesn't include the menu command (patch attached). I would better advertise the new menu command, maybe with a NEWS.Debian. Sorry for the noise, I hope that this time my mail is more useful ;-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
