This seems like the biggest problem with fvwm-2.0.44 right now. Is anybody
looking at why this doesn't work?

Also, the AutoRaise problem hasn't been fixed in regards to menus: if
you pop-down a menu, then the AutoRaise delay expires, the window is
raised and obscures the menu. Isn't there any way to fix this?

The other problem is if a user doesn't have a .fvwm2rc file, it complains
that it can't find it OR the system.fvwm2rc file, even though the
system.fvwm2rc file DOES exist. This needs to be fixed before I can install
it on our machines as well, since not everyone has a ~/.fvwm2rc...

Finally, something that needs to be fixed in Fvwm.tmpl: in order for
the Solaris dynamic linker to find the X libraries, I needed to change
the FvwmModuleTarget and FvwmProgramTarget from '$(CC) -o $_at_...' to
'$(CCLINK) -o $_at_...'. This is very important! It makes sure the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH gets set before the link so the dynamic linker can find
the X libraries. Prior to making this change, 'fvwm2' would not run,
with the linker complaining about not be able to find the X libraries,
and 'ldd' confirmed it. I tracked it down to this oversight in 'Fvwm.tmpl'.
Can this be fixed?

Also, I'm fairly certain I've applied all the patches (the placement.c
patch, all the patches from andrew [up to andrew4], got the new FvwmIconMan,
and the new FvwmAuto and FvwmAudio updates) that have been released to date,
but it would be nice to maybe release an "fvwm-2.0.44.1" (or something)
once things settle down that includes all the patches, some Decor samples,
etc...
