I had started working on something that used tcl/tk to do
customizations, along with an "apply" and "restore" options to allow
users to get out of trouble as part of tkgoodstuff. However, the
extremely long lag time between fvwm2.3 "feature freeze" and 2.4 made
that project fall by the wayside. However, if anybody would like my
design details (how the applet would work), I still have all those
things. (What I had in mind was a LOT more useful than the dotfile
generator I had seen in the past, supporting user-defined functions,
etc.)
I might even take on the job once again, but right now, volunteer work
for Destination Imagination and other work has my spare time occupied.
