From my keyboard:
Hello Vincent,
The problem is, I don't have nor want all the Debian
programs/packages on my system?
If I recall when I previously used fvwm, it only showed the programs I
had installed on my system, except KDE programs. Maybe the latter are
not part of the Debian menu?
Also in the past when I installed packages like Kate or Scribus or
such, clicking the "read the Debian menu" and "update the Debian menu"
only worked with some of the packages, some were still missing. I
installed all with apt-get from the Debian repository? But I probably
did something wrong.
Anyway, thanks for the tip, I'll remove the /etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook
and point everything to ~/.fvwm/menudefs.hook and therefore the
programs I use and have entered in that, will remain in the Debian
menu.
Because they have been wiped off it every time
the /etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook was regenerated on an upgrade and I had
to put them in manually each time anyway?
That may not happen if I just point to ~/.fvwm/menudefs.hook because
update and upgrade doesn't wipe them from there.
Thank you,
Charlie
