Hmm. The reason for that patch was so that the Debian menu is
always available, even if there is no configuration file.
On the other hand, when actually looking at the menu, I can see
there actually is an xpad.xpm being shown, which happened because I do
have a "/etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook" in place in my .fvwm2rc; and the
file is actually read twice, with the ImagePath correctly set the
second time.
A workaround for Debian could be that that I also setup a
default ImagePath that takes into account Debian provided paths into
the default config, which will make the annoying messages go away.
ImagePath /usr/share/icons:/usr/share/pixmaps:/usr/share/icons/wm-icons:+
ImagePath +:/usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/:/usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/
ImagePath +:/usr/include/X11/bitmaps/
That should take care of most of the places Debian makes icons
available. Thoughts?
