Welcome!

Thanks for taking over from Christoph, he's been too busy to do much
work on the package for a while now.

Fairly high - it's probably a good idea.  I'll do the change when I
next make a release of fvwm2, since fvwm-common is built out of the
fvwm2 tree.  (Actually, maybe it should be split off, but that's a
different story).

You will need to add a "suggests" or a "reccommends" of the
appropriate new version of fvwm-common, of course.

While you're at it, I've been asking Christoph to merge his extra
icons into fvwm-common, since there's quite a bit of overlap.  To a
certain extent, this is entwinded with the discussion going on about
where pixmaps and bitmaps should live in the filesystem.  Personally,
I would vote for the traditional
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/{bitmap,pixmap} solution, but I suppose if you
buy into the /usr/share/... world view, then somewhere under there
would be best.

Yes, the extra arg would be necessary.

I'm filing this as a bug report so I don't forget the point.
