I see you've hard coded fonts for the FvwmForm:
*${modname}: Font 7x13bold
*${modname}: InputFont 7x13bold
*${modname}: ButtonFont 7x13bold
I don't think that's a good idea.
I'm using much bigger fonts due to my high resolution monitor.
Since we have a GUI for setting FvwmForm defaults, I don't think we
should be overriding those fonts in one of our tools.
Everything else looks okay.
"Usage" is misspelled on the first comment line in the .fpl file.

Had me confused there, I didn't think you had commit access set up yet.

Not sure what you mean, I think you're talking about .desktop files with
Fvwm options in it, like start/restart Fvwm, etc? So that when someone
installs Fvwm they get menu options to start Fvwm.
If so, definitely yes, it's something I wanted to do but never got to it.

Restructured fvwm-menu-desktop-config and xdg menu question
Hi Dan, I have implemented two new options in fvwm-menu-desktop: --app-icon NAME set default application icon if no others found. Default is gnome-applications. --dir-icon NAME set default directory icon if no others found. Default is gnome-fs-directory. because gnome-applications' and 'gnome-fs-directory' not available in all icon themes. Therefore I have restructured fvwm-menu-desktop-config to reduce the window size to place the new options. Would you check my new placements please if it is understandable? I have removed some descriptions to hold the layout compactly. If all suits I will write a manpage for fvwm-menu-desktop-config. Attached is fvwm-menu-desktop-config.fpl and the new fvwm-menu-desktop for testing. Another point is the thing with a xdg menu for Fvwm. Should we ship such menu with Fvwm generally? If so the question is what should we do: install it under /etc/xdg/menus/ or ship it as an example file and the user can decide by her/himself? I have created a common one with the needed directory files and it works fine on most systems. In some parts it could be changed but that is another point ;-) Best, Thomas preview_fvwm-menu-desktop-config.tar.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data
