Subject: fvwm2: unwieldy menu customisation

Date: Mon, 4 Aug 1997 13:04:46 +0200 (MET DST)

Package: fvwm2
Version: 2.0.45-BETA-4

   In /etc/X11/fvwm2/main-menu-pre.hook
   the "example" is actually not uncommented.
   In the result I always get the xterm entry at the top,
   which I don't like, and the line below, 
   which cuts the main menu in half.
 
   To fix this I had to add to my ~/.fvwm2/post.hook:
 
DestroyMenu /Debian
 
# Read system and user menu prefixes
AddToMenu /Debian
+ "Main Menu" Title
#Read /etc/X11/fvwm2/main-menu-pre.hook
Read .fvwm2/main-menu-pre.hook
 
AddToMenu "/Debian"
+ "&Apps" PopUp /Debian/Apps
+ "&Games" PopUp /Debian/Games
+ "&Modules" PopUp /Debian/Modules
+ "&Screen" PopUp /Debian/Screen
+ "S&ystem" PopUp /Debian/System
+ "&WindowManagers" PopUp /Debian/WindowManagers
+ "&XShells" PopUp /Debian/XShells
 
# Add in user additions
Read /etc/X11/fvwm2/main-menu.hook
Read .fvwm2/main-menu.hook
 
# Tack a quit entry on to the end
AddToMenu /Debian
+       ""                      Nop
+       "Exit Fvwm"             Popup Quit-Verify
 
   which is alright for now, but will fail
   as soon as new sections are added to the "/Debian" menu.
   The way out seems to be to add Destroy ...
   before each new menu declaration in menudefs.hook.

You can edit thge system-wide hook files in /etc/X11/fvwm2/ as much as
you want: just commentout out the "example".

Yeah, and what if I'm not root?
And what if I'm root, but I want to keep the /etc/X11/fvwm2/*
things in sync with the upgrades, to get automatically
whatever wonderful improvements you put here in future versions.
And on the other hand I want my users to be able to change 
everything to their taste with the use of only ~/.fvwm/* files?

This is difficult, I know...
