Absolutely. From looking at the libstroke homepage [0] it seems as though FVWM are the only real users of this library. Heck, they even have FVWM listed as a reference program---including packaging up the FVWM sources for 2.0.45. Historically interesting, but hardly relevant. I am all in favour of writing a program to do this external to FVWM instead---heck, it could even be a module if necessary. But I don't like it in the core of FVWM, and never have---the STROKE_CODE macro seems to really irritate me. -- Thomas Adam [0] http://etla.net/libstroke/
