Is /usr/share/xsessions the correct install path on FreeBSD for the  
xsession file installed by setup.sh?
If so, I'll update the INSTALL document to state the script is well  
supported on both Linux and FreeBSD and untested on other systems.

ok. Should we remove this line 'This is a starting point for making  
FreeBSD installation notes.' from INSTALL.FreeBSD then?

There are various memory leak problems in Azalea, it tends eat all the  
memory after few hours of use. I ran it with Valgrind few months ago  
and fixed a major issue, but others remain and I failed to understand  
how to fix them without rewriting substantial parts of the code. Since  
David seems willing to write a new WM soon, I haven't spent more time  
on it.

The behavior of  the menu is known to be inconsistent, the Étoilé menu  
and the menu bar portion managed by EtoileWildMenus behave  
differently. EtoileWildMenus event handling is also currently a big  
hack. The plan is to merge as much code as possible with GNUstep  
codebase (EtoileWildMenus is mostly an old fork). In case you  
interested to work on that, I'd be glad to help :-)

Unless I don't understand what you mean here, this one doesn't exist  
on Linux. The About window belongs to the menu server, thereby if the  
menu server properly loads Camaelon, Nesedah theme should be applied  
to the About window.

This one is weird too. Modal dialogs work fine for me on Linux. I  
currently use a relatively old GNUstep trunk (r27563) though.

Cheers,
Quentin.
