I am the manager of a few workstations and I would like to provide a basic
fvwm configuration file for all the users in my network. My interest is in
maintaining a menu structure which is updated everytime a new application is
installed so it can be accessed from the workspace menu by everyone. Besides,
each user should be able to configure his fvwm with his $HOME/.fvwm2rc.
Is it possible to do this with fvwm2? How? I have tried many things, but I
have not been successful. Here is what is happennig:
- If there is a $HOME/.fvwm2rc, no other configuration file seems to be read
during configuration.
- If there is no $HOME/.fvwm2rc, I can't find where the default configuration
should reside to be read by fvwm2. It is not even clear how the file should
be called: .fvwm2rc or system.fvwmrc. I have tried both names in several
places but none of them worked:
/usr/lib/X11/fvwm/
/usr1/lib/X11/fvwm/ (I have X11 in /usr1)
/usr1/lib/X11/twm/
/usr8/lib/fvwm/ (fvwm is installed in /usr8)
- I also tried to call fvwm2 with the option -f "Read <file>" but that didn't
work either. (What am I doing wrong?)
I have version 2.0.42. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks in advance!
