I meant to respond to Joerg's note yesterday, but didn't get a chance.

While some people might like this, I don't intend to put anything like
this in to FVWM. I don't think that it's a good idea, because not
everyone will want it and the facility to put the pixmaps in if wanted
is already in there, so I see no need to change it. Sorry.

A pointer to Joerg's 3d pixmaps will make it into the FAQ though. And
a few of them might make it into the distribution. I haven't looked
at them yet, but I'll probably put a few in there. I don't want to
put all of them in there, as there are quite a bit.

Thanks,
Chuck
