Package: pekwm
Version: 0.1.14-2
* What led up to the situation?
aptitude install pekwm pekwm-themes
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
run pekwm
* What was the outcome of this action?
When right clicking on the background a very basic menu is displayed.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
When right clicking on the background the usual integrated debian menu should
be displayed, this contains, for example 'Applications->Editors',
'Games->Board' 'Window Managers->Pekwm'. (This is the case for fluxbox,
openbox, fvwm, twm, etc.)
Note: This is the case both for pekwm in both Wheezy *and* Jessie RC1.
The reason seems to be that the full path to the debian-menu file is not given.
$ grep debian-menu /etc/pekwm/menu
INCLUDE = "debian-menu"
When you run pekwm, the various config files get copied to $HOME/.pekwm, but
the debian-menu file doesn't, ie:
~/.pekwm$ ls -C1
autoproperties
config
history
keys
menu
mouse
start
themes
vars
So the 'menu' files wants to include the 'debian-menu' file, but assumes it is
in the local directory. It isn't so including the debian-menu file doesn't work
and the standard Debian menu is not present.
Other windown managers seem to include the full path, eg:
$ grep debian-menu /etc/jwm/system.jwmrc
<Include>/etc/jwm/debian-menu</Include>
With this change:
$ diff -u /etc/pekwm/menu.org /etc/pekwm/menu

pekwm worked as expected. Right clicking on the background showed the
integrated debian menu.
