Just curious whether anybody uses fvwm in Ubuntu, specifically how to
get all the automatic things that gnome does (at least I think it's
gnome) in Ubuntu, it has various programs that show in panels, e.g.
system update, network status, pidgin shows status there etc.
I have read the Ubuntu
ok so it's kinda ridiculous question but given that sort of soon desktop
will go openGL the window manager will have to do the same - will fvwm
do the transition?

does FvwmButton depend on fvwm in a way that would make it impossible
to use it without fvwm? I understand that some code changes would be
needed since now it's fvwm module, my question is how much it depends on
fvwm for its functionality.
any pointers to where to rtfm appreciated,
