Hi all,

looking at debian cache, I found a package called fvwm-gnome. After
install, it replace fvwm, but the documentation is the same for both
packages. The package description says:

"Unlike fvwm, this has been compiled with GNOME support (at this point,
this means that the fvwmGTK modules is a GNOME application, not a gtk
application. but this may change)."

If you have the gnome libraries installed, fvwmGTK will use them
instead of GTK. If not it will only use the ones from GTK. For
pre-compiled packages, if you choose fvwmGnome then you must have the
gnome libs installed.


Which could be the (dis)advantages on using fvwm-gnome instead of fvwm?

Gnome libs are built on top of gtk, and in case of FvwmGtk it's kind
of the same thing.

If you do have gnome libs installed for some other application, then
it may be good to use fvwmGnome. If you don't, then it's better just
to use the non-gnome fvwm and save the hard-drive space.


Thanks in advance, and sorry for my english.


Cheers,
 Renato
