Hi everyone!
I notice that there's only the man page for fvwm and some unofficial tutorial.
Are they any plans to improve the documentation of fvwm? the man page is huge,
and it does explain every option but not always how to use it.
this makes learning fvwm difficult.
Are they such plans?

Yes, but that's just for modules, isn't it? Overall, there's alot of docs to
read there! I was hoping for something more hands-on. I can always use thos

Hi,
I was googling for "fvwm stable" and noticed that many people recommended 2.5
version, which is listed as "unstable" on the fvwm website.
Is this still a good version to use?
I also read about a 2.6 release. Where do I find this one? I dont think I saw
it on the fvwm website.
I just want

Hi
Some apps have options like "-title" or "-T" to set the title of windows. Not
all apps have this tho - so how can i set the title of the window when the app
doesnt have such an option?
is it possible?

hi list -
sometimes for no reason i get fvwm lockups when moving or resizing windows. i
think its fvwm??? if i resize a window the cursor changes and stays like it and
i can do nothing until fvwm unfreezes
does fvwm log to a file so i can see if theres a ptoblem there?
is this a common problem

hi all,
i keep finding different references on the internet to both initfunc or
startfunc, and problems using initfunc. since i am trying to be a good fvwm
user and understand this more, could someone explain which one(s) i am to use
and why?
sorry if this is documented - if so, can i have a l

Hi,
Just wanted to say a big "thank you" to the people who released 2.6, who was
that? i think an interview would be interesting!
Does fvwn accept donations or can users show their appreciation somehow?
A very happy fvwm user,
Jason
ok,
but why a teddy bear, may i ask? and where would i send one if that's what the
fvwm devs want? i dont see an address or anything

hi,
i came across this on LWN:
http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/439463/04354bb3d799c8de/
which mentions a possible new look for the website.
can someone expand on this? i'd be interested to know, maybe i could help?

Hi,
i do agree with most of this - but remember that on smaller projects like this
one that the personalities of others are more obvious.
if this were a larger project this would not have mattered to anyone.

hi,
I read somewhere once that fvwm is switching its man page to use asciidoc? I
found this with google:
http://www.mail-archive.com/fvwm-workers@fvwm.org/msg02596.html
is there a more up to date version of this? how active is this work happening?
Thanks to all,
Jason
Hi.
Having read the release notes for the new InfoStore command do I need to
convert any SetEnv commands to use it? I am not sure of why it exists, and now
why there's two different options to do much the similar thing
Thanks,
Jason
Hi,
Is it true that fvwm has no maintainer now? if so, is fvwm still being
developed anymore? are there any features planned or is it a dying project?
TIA!
