The wmconfig package (a dynamic window manager configuration tool) is marked as deprecated in RedHat Linux 6.2 and as such may not be supported or included in future releases. I suppose there is/will be a replacement for it. What is it? wmconfig is used mainly to dynamicaly build the menus for some window managers (fvwm95, fvwm2, afterstep, mwm, anotherlevel, icewm, blackbox, wmaker and kde are the currently supported ones). How one will build shuch dynamic menus in future versions of RHL? I know some window managers and desktops can do that themselves, but not all of them can. I have been using IceWM for a while and wmconfig has been used to generate the menus for me. Even some packages distributed with RHL still uses wmconfig (for example, WindowMaker and AfterStep). So I think wmconfig will not just be dropped without a replacement. I noticed also that Mandrake Linux has dropped wmconfig from its development release (mandrake-cooker) and start using the menu package from Debian. Would RedHat go the same way? If so there will be at least one advantage: compatibility among distributions regarding dynamic menus. Any comments?
