FVWM: No module "FvwmTaskBar" in Fvwm 2.6.9?

2020-08-11 Thread Dr Rainer Woitok 
Greetings,

after a routine upgrade of my Gentoo system which also updated Fvwm from
version 2.6.5-r3  to 2.6.9  suddenly module  "FvwmTaskBar"  was missing.
Since this module is very important for the way I'm using Fvwm, I had to
immediately downgrade again to version 2.6.5-r3.

Question: What has become of "FvwmTaskBar"?

Sincerely,
  Rainer

FvwmTaskBar was removed due it being buggy and having additional
options. Use FvwmButtons + FvwmIconMan instead. Here is an example:

In general FvwmTaskBar is limiting compared to what you can do with
FvwmButtons + FvwmIconMan, you just now have to build your own panel
using other tools.
