I'm running fvwm 2.2.4-2 on Debian 2.2r2 (potato), and there's something

~/.fvwm. This generally works OK

Hi all,
I use fvwm2 as a window manager in slink. In
/etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc, the FvwmPager module is started with one
desk, after .fvwm2/post.hook is read. I like to start FvwmPager with
three desks, and do that in my post.hook file. As a result there are
always two FvwmPagers running
I think slink has only got fvwm 2.0.
If you have apt, apt-get fvwm2 will install fvwm2.0.46 for you.

I like the design of the Debian menu package, and I'm trying to
follow the docs to get auto-updating of menus under X, but I seem
to have hit a roadblock.
I use Fvwm2, and according to the comments in system.fvwm2rc
and the Fvwm2 docs--in the Debian package, compliant with the

They aren't all that bad - I use a normal .fvwm2rc file and have this in it:

about the `hook' files that are introduce
Hi,
If you like programming by example, I can provide you with a
live copy of my fvwm config files (16Kgzipped) which should be a good
start.

make a 'reasonably configurable' window manager, and maybe the FVWM2 guys don't

whoever wants to download it or get a cd with it. If you don
I am very upset by these hook things. I do not understand them. They seem
to be much harder to work with than regular configuration (.*rc) files.
They seem to require that the user know which hook file to edit. There
