FVWM: A Linux suggestion...

Writting window manager startup files is tedious work, and hard
to do for new users.

Imagine a script (written for a given Linux distribution) that inserts an
``Application'' menu entry for each installed application on a Linux
system.

For Slackware, the script would compare /var/adm/packages/ contents
against a list of programs known to behave well when called from a menu
(perhaps even supplying icons for fvwm-95).


Just a thought...
