A shed-load of useless libraries you won't ever need.
True, but that's what you get when you use a precompiled distro.. It's
a one-package-for-all compromise..
fvwm-gnome
represents everything that the idiot of a maintainer has done in seeing
FvwmGTK and thinking "ooh, GNOME!" and henceforth linked all manner of
superfluous libs against it.
As I said, you probably wouldn't need bidi support, but if some guy
needs it the package must have it precompiled. Being a static program,
this is the only solution.
The only way fvwm could be compiled in a one-package-for-all without
requiring all these libs was using *.so 's..
