Hello.

After some discussion about the debian fvwm-gnome dependencies, there
is one dependency that could be removed without any performance
problem:

FvwmEvent uses rplay to play audio, inherited from its previous
existances as FvwmAudio and FvwmSound. But the truth is audio playback
can be easily done through an "exec play" (or something like) that
from a function within the config. So why to hardcode something when
it can be done easily through configs?

On the other hand I realise some people may still use rplay, even
though it has frozen since 1999. So removing it from fvwm may break
some configs..

I admit removing gnome support may break some cofigs, but in what
refers to rplay, that would be definitelly rare.. And if we will do it
eventually, the time is _before_ 2.6 and not afterwards. Unless we
want to keep it until 3.0......

.....at least it should be marked as obsolete in the documentation..

Comments?
