You have to install the menu package, but you do not need to run update-menus unless you have a ~/.wmx directory. This will be performed automatically. flwm is a wonderful package, and it is doing it a disservice to not configure it properly on install. New users may just look at the paltry menu, say this sucks, and uninstall flwm. As far as I know, flwm behave the same way in that regard in Sarge and Etch: the menu is only available if the menu package is installed. This behaviour is consistent with the other window managers in Debian. So if you experienced a different behaviour, I would really appreciate more data. Thanks in your interest in FLWM and Debian menu! -- Bill. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Imagine a large blue swirl here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
