It's in EPEL, so it's kind of part of the RHEL/CENTOS distro too:

Hi all,

I couldn't agree more.

I use fvwm at home and at work. I can make it do exactly what I want 
without fighting with it the way that I would have to fight with a 
"desktop environment" like KDE or gnome.


Cheers,

Ron

Nope, guess would be me, as I turn 68 next month.  :-)

I copied a TWM config from a colleague at work around 1987/1988.   I switched 
to fvwm in the early 90s, perhaps from the same colleague at work.
FVWM was obviously better than TWM, and the virtual desktops was probably the 
major reason for the change.

I’ve stuck with fvwm all these years and platforms,  bothering to compile FVWM 
for systems that did not have it, because this WM does all I want and my 
interest was to preserve my workflow.
I am a touch typist, and similar to using emacs, my fingers just automatically 
do what I want, and I would probably need to look at what my fingers/hands do 
automatically to tell you about key or mouse-button bindiings.

There are perhaps a few folks even older than me on this list, and perhaps some 
who still use FVWM for similar reasons.
Perhaps  even a few (like me) who are using only slightly-modified .fvwm2rc 
files that hey copied from friends for colleagues ages ago.

BTW, my desktop bitmaps go back to TWM and have been dragged along all this 
time, too.

Apologies for "hijacking" this thread; I love fvwm and use it every day.
I have to confess that a small part of me fears that because of a silly
protocol change, fvwm may suddenly "not work", and the fvwm dev(s) might
no longer be interested...

Regardless, let me also add my BIG THANK YOU to the previous message.
I've been using fvwm for 10+ years now and am very happy with it.

Dear Thomas,

FVWM has shrunk down to a - as you call it - crackpot project. Only few
people are using it, these are mainly old guys like me (I'm 45) who know
it from glorious old times. And there seems to be only one active develo-
per, not taking into account one or two others with very low activity.

I think our concerns are not so ridiculous. The only thing I can contri-
bute now is a big warm "thank you" for your great work. Keep FVWM alive!

Heads up
Werner

Thanks all, for your replies.  There'll be no change here.

I have no idea why some people hijacked this thread with ridiculous statements
of ensuring FVWM doesn't disappear, etc.  It's on Github along with all the
other crackpot projects...

Me too.

As long as nobody takes the functionality away from FVWM,
the logo doesn't matter.

I dropped it from FVWM since it wasn't something we should be maintaining, and
if someone wishes to, they're welcome to.

Personally, I'd say no. The current logo works well and I see no need
to change it.

I like the current logo.  But as long as fvwm is here as such,
I'm fine with pretty much any logo for it ;)

Well, I like the current fvwm logo. It has that simple yet
interesting/cool look.
What makes the current one unacceptable?
What, if anything, do you have in mind?

Hi all,

I happened to be looking at the previous FVWM logo compeition [1] and wondered
if it's time to hold another one?  The previous competition was held in the
early 2000s.  Is it time for an update?

If so, send some ideas through, it'd be great to see them!
