Hi,

        I am running fvwm on top of a debian linux. I apt-get installed fvwm but it
didn't give me all I expected. After a day of checking man and mailing-list I
dowloaded the V2.4.5 from the fvwm site, compiled and installed it.
Now I spent my day configuring it and there are still things to Fix. Maybe
you have clues for me:

        1. the version (V 2.2.5) apt-get installed by debian dynamically created
menus. I mean, if I installed an application, after restarting fvwm I could
see the new application in my popup menus.
I have a little Idea of the way it achieved that, but I could not make it
work on my 2.4.5...
I saw something with Fvwm-menu-desktop, but it adresses only menus dealing
with gnome or kde... I'd like it to work more generaly with Debian. It seems
debian places every interisting information in /usr/lib/menu. Someone knows
how to do ?

        2. I still have problems with my windows
                A. When ALT-TABing, sometimes the focus passes to a window which is on an
other page. It seems it happens for big windows that spread on theire entire
pages (mozilla browser) and may have a few pixels an the other page...
                B. I could not set the ALT-TAB behavior the way I expected: I'd like to
ALT-TAB between the last accessed windows but can just ALT-TAB in circle...
(I tried FlipFocus but that didn't work)

Any help appreciated...
                --Ben

PS: I dont send you the .fvwm2rc, I took the sample-2 and it is quite
untouched.
