Thanks,
I tried the
GnomeButton
Used in conjunction with Mouse to pass mouse button
presses on the root window to a GNOME program (such
as GMC). The following example passes presses of
mouse buttons 1 and 3 to such a program.
Mouse 1 R A GnomeButton
Mouse 3 R A GnomeButton
but this looks like it passes Mouse (and maybe keypresses?) transparently.
And fvwm-menu-desktop looks closer, but makes me really believe that there
is no hook on the gnome side like:
# in my .fvwm2rc for Fvwm Version 2.3.15 :
AddToMenu "StartMenu"
+ "&Gnome Panel" Exec panel MainMenu::Activate
...
Bummer. Basically, it looks like one uses this command to recreate all
the menus in fvwm. I don't really know gnome, and it all it buys me is a
few new applications, maybe it isn't worth the effort involved in
learning it. I'll give fvwm-menu-desktop a try and see what they have
though.
Thanks,
