Re: XPMs?
It's good idea to put all the icons on same directory but let's not make another package with all the icons. Icons should come with package they belong in. Well, all the icons together don't take up that much space, and just before I wrote about this, I had the problem, that I needed an xterm-hp or hpterm icon. Just for that I needed to install ctwm (which otherwise I don't use). And also, just looking at the names of the icons, there seem to be quite a few duplicates. I think putting the icons into the a single directory could be a first step, but as the window-manager icons can also be used in other window-managers, I don't see why I should be required to install all WM's just to have all icons around. That's why I said I'd rather have all icons in one package that is required by those packages that presently contain those icons.

That's why I said I'd rather have all icons in one package that is required by those packages that presently contain those icons. Hmmm...I hadn't thought of it like that. You are right, I do sometime use different icons then one that came with the package. Do you use mc? You can use mc to see the insides of package and extract file(s) you want without having to unpack. I use it all the time for such a thing.

XPMs?
Hi there, I'd like to propose a little change for some of the existing packages (including fvwm95, dosemu, afterstep, fvwm-common, elvis, tgif, ctwm, wily, xsok, offix and some others). Is there really a *NEED* for each package to have its icons somewhere else (just to name a few of the directories where icons are stored /usr/X11R6/icons, /usr/images, /usr/include/pixmaps, /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps, /usr/X11R6/lib/ctwm/images). Also, if someone were willing, could someone maybe put all those icons together into a single package (stored in a single directory) that is required by the others?
