Very likely the menu fvwm-menu-desktop generates is identical to your Debian menu. I will give it a try with Jessie. It can take some months, but when this topic has focus, I can give feedback. After all, FVWM is such an important part that it could be a good idea to not choose the packaged version but a recent one directly from upstream. - Michael -

The dependencies hasn't changed since years, so the package should work out of the box. -- Thomas - - Good to know. In March 2013, I tried to use the 'sid' version for 'Squeeze', a '2.6.5'. It didn't work because the dependencies couldn't be solved in 'Squeeze'. But as soon as I migrate to 'Jessie', I will get an 'FVWM 2.6.5' anyway. The old 'Wheezy' and 'Squeeze' machines have to run productively until my first 'Jessie' machines are finally ready and productive. - Michael -

Maybe. But remember that you shouldn't try and dump the information from that mailing list message into the man page. I'm not sure how much of it is useful for the man page, but I'll await your patch first of all. -- Thomas Adam -- Deep in my heart I wish I was wrong. But deep in my heart I know I am not. -- Morrissey (Girl Least Likely To -- off of Viva Hate.) I have a supplementary idea. Some man pages have a 'see also' section at the bottom. Why not just add a 'see also' section to the FVWM man page and add the URLs to some useful other pages there? Another Quote (Dan Espen): The man page is meant to be a complete reference. This means you have to find all the pieces. With just the 'see also' section, the man page could make it easier for the reader to find all the other relevant pieces. - Michael -
Re: FVWM: ImageMagick display style option?
Hello everybody, I've noted that when I open with (ImageMagick) display command an image larger than the screen the window geometry doesn't take in care borders and title, then right and bottom window borders are hidden outside the limit of the screen. Somebody knows a style option or another workaround for this? Thanks in advance Walter I have this with XV too, but I like this behavior, because this is exactly what I want: Seeing an unscaled image (watching down-scaled Screenshots is not nice; it is always perfect when FVWM shows the plain screenshots and hides the window borders and titles outside of the screen). I have configured FVWM in a way that, when I hold down the WIN key, click with the left mouse button into the XV image and move the mouse, then the whole XV image starts moving according to the moving of my mouse. When I have a case in which I do not need this behavior, then I open a Web Browser to view the image within that. Oh yeah, for XV, I have another FVWM hotkey: WIN + RETURN. When I hit WIN + RETURN, my XV window maximises like every other window. If XV shows a picture larger than the screen, it shrinks of course, to screen size. Perhaps, you should configure your FVWM in a way that it recognizes that ImageMagick starts and automatically maximizes ImageMagick when it is larger than the screen. Or you adapt my config together with my habit as described above. Though I hit very often WIN + RETURN when I deal with windows, but I have full control, and you will familiarize very fast with it :-) - Michael -
