  Few tweaks: update programs, etc.

Is fvwm-announce still used?

[Thomas Adam]

Hi,

When I was writing the notes for the release procedure, one of the questions I
meant to mail out here was to ask if the fvwm-announce mailing list is still
used and/or has subscribers?

I haven't posted to that list for the times I've done fvwm releases, so I'm
assuming it's prettu much redundant now?   Indeed, a lot of distributions have
automatic means to know when a new release happens, and I suspect that's true
of users as well.  Github tracking makes this easier.

But I thought I'd check.  If it's not used, I'll ask Jason to shut it down.

Not that the white bothers me at all, but if it's supposed to mimic a root
window, then how about a dark granite texture?

  Fix startup ordering for AllocColorset

Don't call flib_init_graphics() from fvwm.c, as this will over-allocate
Colorset 0.  Put back the original startup sequence.

I'd suggest to make it plain black, but anything darker than #003c3c will do.
