Suppose someone wants to post (or include in his site) a link to the FvwmButtons man page. If he copies it and it has "?layout=something", all users are forced to read it using this specific layout that some may find unreadable. This is bad. Now, suppose he is smart enough to post a link with everything after "?" stripped. Now all users are forced to see the default layout. This is not the best thing to do either. The best possible way IMO is not to have any GET parameters in url and use stored session values only (if any). > Anyway, I think even if we don't use parameter passing via url it is > good to use the wrapper function "conv_link_target" since it makes it > possible to manipulate relative links inside the php-scripts.

I don't know if the server supports this. Moving index.html to old-index.html would be enough. One more thing. It would be nice to have 404.php (configured in apache) that shows an error and suggests to go to the home page. It may also include a match table that maps the old url to the new one to suggest it. A possible auto redirection may be used, but this is arguable. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
