How do I add applications to my X windows menus?
The solution to adding applications to your X menus is the wmconfig utility provided with 5.x. RTMF man page for wmconfig for all the window managers that it can setup menus for. By default, the scripts that came with 5.x use wmconfig to build FVWM menus from files located in /etc/X11/wmconfig. 1) su - root 2) cd /etc/X11/wmconfig 3) vi xwp 4) xwp name "WordPerfect" xwp description "Corel WordPerfect" xwp icon "textedit.xpm" xwp mini-icon "mini-edit.xpm" xwp group "Applications" xwp exec "/opt/wp7.0/wpbin/xwp &" 5) restart FVWM (don't have to restart X) Notes: see man wmconfig for name, icon, mini-icon, exec... exec is the command line for the program. Icons are located in: /usr/share/icons and /usr/share/icons/mini It is HIGHLY recommended that new applications come with wmconfig entries in their RPM files!
