Another suggestion for possible projects (seems this list is getting big so any presepctive programer will have plenty to choose from) is a better Menu system. The main thing I am intersted in seeing is more control over what a single menu entry can do. There are basically two basic ways to go about this, and I think the first is probabaly the better fit but the second could be nice if someone has the time desire. 1) Modify/extend the current menu system to offer more configurability, the main thing I am looking for here is say allow for multiple mouse bindings per menu entry (a right click and left click could do different things). I think FvwmButtons as an example is good for this, each menu item is given a list of options/commands. This would allow people to design menus to have say submenus on a right click while a default action on a left click which is a common feature in lots of wm/de. 2) Rewrite the menu syntax and redsign the object, there was some talk about this on the mailing list years ago now and some good ideas for improving menus. I don't think this is needed for adding just a few features to the current menu and it would break a lot of scripts (fvwm-menu-desktop, fvwm-menu-directory, and even distro specific menu generation scripts). jaimos
