Viewing it from a different angle, investing our unpaid free time in such endeavours definitely is giving back what we already got in advance for free. All the free software included with Debian and all those other wonderful projects, and which we take granted for daily use since at least two decades now, truly is a priceless wealth, for which i am very thankful, indeed. But that's another discussion not really belonging here. > If somebody donate money in the wmlive project > homepage, please, share it with me ;-) > No problem! ;) > The wmaker-common package already exists in Debian.

But the default user menu on the actual preconfigured desktop is tailored manually, with the debian generated menus being included as sub menus. The xdg-based Debian menus for wmaker require a serious overhaul, as they are far from having any good usability in their layout. There are far too many menu sub levels, with the applications unnecessarily being many mouse clicks too much away. While this may conform to menu policy from a technical standpoint, it doesn't consider any usablilty aspects. We need to find a suitable technical compromise for this. > Is better check one by one your changes.

You are absolutely right in that the changes have to be carefully chosen. We will take care of that once i am more content with the still not fully satisfying wmlive customizations.
