See: http://www.mail-archive.com/fvwm-workers@fvwm.org/msg01677.html I couldn't tell you what KDE does, Mind you, I am assuming FC10 is using at least FVWM 2.5.27? In which case it's likely to be somethiing else. I certainly can't reproduce it anymore on my Debian installation, and the results you've outlined here were the same symptoms as the problem I (purportedly) fixed. -- Thomas Adam

In which case it's likely to be somethiing else. I certainly can't reproduce it anymore on my Debian installation, and the results you've outlined here were the same symptoms as the problem I (purportedly) fixed. I'm running Fvwm built from CVS. If I understand fvwm-menu-desktop it's looking for .desktop files in /usr/share/gnome/apps or applications. On my FC10 install there is no such directory: home ll /usr/share/gnome drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-04-30 15:59 autostart -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 884 2009-01-15 20:08 default.session drwxr-xr-x 85 root root 4096 2009-05-14 21:33 help drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-04-30 15:47 shutdown drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-04-30 15:58 wm-properties I looked around for a bunch of .desktop files and didn't find them. I came to the conclusion that the right way to build these menus is to use the XDG specified XML files. I don't remember the whole spec but I did find xdg-menus produces useful menus.
