Hi Dominique, >I think some additional steps are needed in order to make the >applications menu to work. On gentoo, fvwm-menu-desktop is just >installed at the same time than fvwm, but no configuration at all is >made. It works only with fvwm 2.6.6 and only from CVS. the latest snapshot is buggy - fvwm-menu-desktop-config.fpl isn't available there. This file creates the config gui. You can test it within a Fvwm-Console: Module FvwmPerl -l fvwm-menu-desktop-config.fpl >I think it can be the same issue with most distributions at the >exception of Debian, which have always been talking care of the menu >integration in all wm/dekstops. I have tested it on several distributions - Fedora, Arch, OpenSuse, Debian and Ubuntu and on all it works correctly. >If I run 'fvwm-menu-desktop', it output nothing. >If I run the examples in the man page and try other options, fvwm >tell me they are obsolete. > >$ fvwm-menu-desktop >$ fvwm-menu-desktop --desktop kde-user --enable-mini-icons WARNING: >Argument "desktop" obsolete.

Which version is installed? $ fvwm-menu-desktop --version If it is 2.0 or higher than one thing could be ... Have a look in /etc/xdg/menus. Are there any .menu files especially applications.menu? If not than it is clear that no menu appears. These files are mandatory. Without them nothing happens.
