Package: icewm-common Version: 1.3.7~pre2-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch icewm has loads of preference settings. Debian helpfully includes the file /usr/share/icewm/preferences in package icewm-common, which lists all preference settings with explanations.
Unfortunately, I could not find any mention of this file in the documentation, making it rather hard to find. I therefore propose to add a new paragraph to README.Debian.gz (probably near the top). Proposal for text: ---snip--- Configuration ------------- IceWM is configured using several text files (mainly: preferences, keys, toolbar, menu and winoptions). These files can be placed under ~/.icewm/ (personal configuration) or /etc/X11/icewm/ (system-wide configuration). A file under ~/.icewm/ will override the corresponding file under /etc/X11/icewm/. Sample configuration files with comments are provided under /usr/share/icewm/. Just copy the files there to ~/.icewm/ or /etc/X11/icewm/ and edit as required. Note that many settings are commented out in the sample files (using a leading #). ---snap--- -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash icewm-common depends on no packages.
