Package: fvwm
Version: 1:2.5.21-1+b1
Severity: normal
Some menu files in /usr/share/menu specify icons without giving their full path.
Apparently, /usr/share/pixmaps is the default location for these icon files.
fvwm fails to find them and floods ~./xsession-errors with messages:
[FVWM][scanForPixmap]: <<WARNING>> Couldn't load image from dosemu32x24.xpm
[FVWM][scanForPixmap]: <<WARNING>> Couldn't load image from camera
[FVWM][scanForPixmap]: <<WARNING>> Couldn't load image from pcb.xpm

[FVWM][scanForPixmap]: <<WARNING>> Couldn't load image from gnome-mastermind.xpm

[FVWM][scanForPixmap]: <<WARNING>> Couldn't load image from camera
[FVWM][scanForPixmap]: <<WARNING>> Couldn't load image from camera
fvwm creates individual messages multiple times, which might be a bug on it's
own. In the example above, e.g. "pcb.xpm" is reported twice, "camera" 4 times.
I have tried to fix this by appending /usr/share/pixmaps to fvwm's image path,
which didn't work:
~/.fvwm/config:
ImagePath +:/usr/share/pixmaps
Setting the complete path also failed:
ImagePath /usr/include/X11/bitmaps:/usr/include/X11/pixmaps:/usr/share/pixmaps
It looks like the ImagePath directive is broken, or parsed after icons are
loaded.
When I modify the menu files, e.g. /usr/share/menu/pcb to reflect the full
path; ( icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/pcb.xpm" ) instead of ( icon="pcb.xpm" ),
fvwm finds the icon file and doesn't print messages to ~./xsession-errors
any more for this icon.
I am not sure about the proper way to fix this, but I can think of three
options:
(1) Include /usr/share/pixmaps with fvwm's ImagePath per compile default.
(2) Only allow full absolute paths in menu files. A lot of packages would
need to be fixed then. I don't know what Debain policy says about this.
(3) Fix the ImagePath directive (if it is truely broken) and include
/usr/share/pixmaps in the default config file.
