Hi Dan,
attached are 3 patches to enable support for changing the hard coded
icon directory (~/.fvwm/icons).
Patches for:
fvwm-menu-desktop: add option --mini-icon-dir
fvwm-menu-desktop.1: add description for new option in manpage
fvwm-menu-desktop-config.fpl: add possibility to change the directory.
Also 2 new desktops in the weighting list: cinnamon and mate
These 2 desktops have own menus in new LinuxMint and without them in the
list they will added as others to the menu list and get a check mark.
Why the new option --mini-icon-dir:
because fvwm-crystal for example has its own home diretory
(~/.fvwm-crystal). If no ~/.fvwm folder exist fvwm-menu-desktop can't
create the icons. So no icons appear in the menus.
Hope you would apply these patches before release 2.6.6. Would be great.
thanks,
Thomas
