I did ask for some kind of support for this a while ago. Since then I got used to not having it, but even so ended up using rox as a desktop app. I don't think the "desktop framework" should be "inside" fvwm, but rather upgrade the module mechanism so that it would become easy to have that kind of dnd support from one module (somekind of hook mechanism). As for desktop icons per se, I don't think that's a task for fvwm, but rather for another app like rox or even some module. > I mean, if I have the FvwmTaskBar StartMenu and include for example > the "Debian menu System" (Debian Pakage: menu) and can Drag-N-Drop > programs from the Menu to a better place in the StartMenu? > Maybe in the future the menus could be provided by special modules, so that we can either have the minimalistic (manual) aproach, or the fully automated one.

As I said, having the desktop icons support in fvwm really means a true "fvwm desktop app", which would either be fully functional (and heavy), or minimalistic (and kind of useless). > Thois two functions are those, which $USER demanding if they are > switching from the proprietary OS to Linux. > > AND A CLEAR NO: I DO NOT WANT TO USE ANOTHER WINDOW MANAGER! ;-) > > I think, you know why! -- Otherwise you are not here on the list. > > Greetings > Michelle Konzack > Tamay Dogan Network > Cheers!
