Whoa. That is very slick and very generous of you. It looks like it would be possible to merge your database with the grun database so that those programs run through grun would have command line options applied when they are re-running through the most-used menu. Thank you for this. I'm sure many of us will make use of it.
Sounds like the mechanism to use. I think I have a working
implementation:
The point is, fvwm is great because it's not only configurable by you and I, but also by scripts or whatever. I don't think one could do this kind of thing with gnome or kde.You are very right. I got this idea messing around with KDE after 3.2 came out. Some of the KDE programs are excellent. Knode, in particular for reading newsgroups. Knode has nice filtering and displays the number of responses under a threaded topic. Kate and Kwrite are also nice and Kmail is effortless to set up with SpamAssassin. KDE mouse focus is poor, however, and there is no way to make adjustments in focus policy for misbehaving programs. With KDE, you pretty much have to live with whatever problems/conflics arise from various Linux apps.
I did like the list of frequently used programs at the top of the menu, however. Unfortunately, the list was too hard to get to through the start button. I'll have the best of both when I get your Ruby scripts set up. I might even try to adopt them to a MS style (ME+) menu when I've got some time.
