Since then I got used to not having it, but even so ended up using rox as a desktop app. You can also use xffm-4.3 which is compatible with fvwm-root, and also contains an extension of fvwm-root (called xffm-root) which is linked with gdkpixbuf library and allows a wider range of formats for background images. Here's a screenshot of fvwm in combination with xffm-deskview: http://xffm.sourceforge.net/screenshots/xffm-deskview-screenshot.png xffm-5.0 should be released in a month or two, without any xfce dependencies.

It's not its intended purpose, but a module a lot of people overlook (just like everything else) is 'FvwmDragWell'. Go forth and use that as a basis. -- Thomas Adam -- I've been too honest with myself, I should have lied like everybody else.

Is there a specification for those DnD stuff under Linux?? I was searching some years ago, but found nothing. > 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). I think, the Desktop icons should something like a module. DnD support like the menus too. > Cheers! > Renato Caldas Greetings Michelle Konzack -- Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ # Debian GNU/Linux Consultant # Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 ICQ #328449886 50, rue de Soultz MSM LinuxMichi 0033/3/8845235667100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com)
