Hi Carlos,

the reasons because I moved it is:

1. In Debian, the /usr/local folder is not used. The correct path is /usr
2. The configuration files should be in /etc
3. I didn't move all the /usr/(local)/share/WindowMaker files, only these files:

appearance.menu  WindowMaker  WMRootMenu  WMWindowAttributes
menu.hook        WMGLOBAL     WMState

Used in the sytem configuration.

4. The appearance.menu and menu.hook are created by the menu-method script, and 
don't seems to be correct generate files in /usr/(local)/share/..., the correct 
path should for generated configuration files should be /etc.
5. I moved these files from /etc/X11/WindowMaker, not from /usr/(local)/share, 
because in debian there are already in /etc/X11/WindowMaker
6. I moved these files from /etc/GNUstep too
7. Is a "distro problem", but IMO, we should the same paths, and the Paul's 
comment is very good (use /etc/WindowMaker and ~/.WindowMaker or something like)
