I neither need nor want any monetary "thank you" for my past work. I could not take anything for that because I'm not the only one who worked on fvwm; and the tax office would probably cause trouble too. However, I *can* accept donations for future work, even if you don't specify which work, and I want to make clear that such donations will be used to improve fvwm. > With that little > money (unless there would be lot of donations), someone couldn't > pay anything I guess.

No, that's not good, but I decided to earn my living this way. Anyway, if you want to make a donation, you can contact me via private email (see my signature), preferrably using PGP encryption (you can find my public key at dominikvogt.gmxhome.de/gpg/pubkey.asc).
