Actually, if I got it right, things are a little different: mandrake uses a hack of debian menu system and the file /etc/X11/fvwm2/menu is created by update-menus everytime a freshly installed rpm calls it within its postin script. Moreover, I am starting to realize that probably the problem is caused by the persons who package the programs. Take for example manedit: it is an item which in my menu gets a big icon. Now, in /etc/X11/fvmw2/menu I have the entry + "&ManEdit%/usr/share/icons/mini/manedit.png%" Exec /usr/bin/manedit which is correct. On the other hand, have a look at this output: [18:30:15]$ identify /usr/share/icons/mini/manedit.png /usr/share/icons/mini/manedit.png PNG 48x48 DirectClass 8-bit 4226b 0.0u 0:01 [18:30:16]$ identify /usr/share/icons/large/manedit.png /usr/share/icons/large/manedit.png PNG 16x16 DirectClass 8-bit 697b 0.0u 0:01 It looks like the packager inverted the two icons!!! If it is like so, I fear there is no way out from here. Yet one question still remain: why in kde the menu nevertheless looks right and why fvwm2 is not able to behave the same way?
