If shell variable FVWM_USERDIR is set (say, to $HOME/config/.fvwm) then it is respected and used by fvwm. Otherwise this variable is set to the default user directory. This is a flexible mechanism that allows multiple user profiles. Some fvwm scripts and modules use $FVWM_USERDIR as well. > Imagine all the large installation bases that are used to ~/.fvwm Strictly speaking, it is not guaranteed that $FVWM_USERDIR will always default to $HOME/.fvwm, it may theoretically be changed to ~/.fvwm3 or ~/.config/fvwm in the future (it is unlikely to happen, but who knows). If this will happen, however, then `fvwm-config --default-userdir` output will be updated accordingly. > > ** The autostart spec (currently a draft): have a > > $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart/ dir, a place where .desktop files could be > > placed to autostart programs. > > fvwm does have that.

A better answer is probably: if there is any semi-standard setup of desktop/application files that is not supported by fvwm-menu-desktop, then this script should be updated to support it. It currently supports common GNOME/KDE setups. Regards, Mikhael.
