Bug#406277: flwm: No Real Menu Created on Install
Package: flwm Version: 1.02-1 Severity: important Under Sarge, installing flwm created a nice wmx menu. Under testing, the only menu items are xterm, new desktop and exit. In order to get a menu in Etch I have to install admin/menu package and run update-menus. 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. My compliments to the maintainer.

Hello Toney, > In order to get a menu in Etch I have to install admin/menu package and > run update-menus. 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.

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.
