I think there may be a little confusion as to what Mr. Alexander is asking. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that Mr. Alexander would like to put the application's menu bar (i.e. the application-specific menu that generally resides at the top of a window's client area with entries such as "File", "Edit", etc.) at the top of his screen. He does NOT wish to create a menu for starting various applications at the top of his screen.
I am not an expert with FVWM, but I think I know the answer to Mr. Alexander's question: This is not possible. The creation of this menu is not under the control of the window manager. This menu is created by whatever widget set was used to create the application Qt, GTK, etc. FVWM cannot separate this menu from the client window and reposition it on the screen. The only way to obtain the behavior that you desire is to rewrite the application. --Ethan On Tue, 2006-06-13 at 18:37 +0100, Thomas Adam wrote: > On Tue, Jun 13, 2006 at 01:17:07PM -0400, Chris Alexander wrote: > > I'm not interested in making the interface look like OSX/Aqua...
