Remember, there are a number of Debian packages which differ from upstream probably so they "fit" into the Debian 'ecoystem', please consider fvwm in the same light. If *you* think that by having a default menu setup is more beneficial for Debian users, then by all means go with your gut feeling. Users should know to report bugs to the Debian BTS where the maintainer will handle it from there, this is the same for any other package in the Debian repos, fvwm is not unusual here. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X
