reassign 382517 fvwm

Hello Manoj,
as far as I understand this bug report (I am not the submitter):
fvwm knows about a environment variable FVWM_USERDIR which according to
the manpage:
FVWM_USERDIR
Used to determine the user's data directory for reading and
sometimes writing personal files. If this variable is not
already set, it is set by fvwm to $HOME/.fvwm, which is the
default user's data directory.
So it seems a good idea to instruct fvwm's menu-method to generate
the menu in ${FVWM_USERDIR} instead of $HOME/.fvwm if this variable is set
(and update-menus is run by a user instead of root).
This can be achieved by editing /etc/menu-methods/fvwm to
say:
userprefix=shell("echo -n /${FVWM_USERDIR-.fvwm}")
Technical note: For historical reason, userprefix treat path starting
with 2 / as absolute and with 0 or one / as relative to $HOME. This
is why I added a / before the $
wmaker do someting similar.
Cheers,
Bill.
