the F(?) Virtual Window Manager.
This package was originally put together by Ian Murdock
<imurdock@debian.org>, from sources obtained from:
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/X11/window-managers/fvwm-1.24r.tar.gz
It is currently being looked after by Phil Brooke <pjb@debian.org>,
although it is not being actively maintained any more, as it is no
longer supported upstream (it's too old and has been replaced by FVWM
version 2.2).
It is installed as /usr/bin/fvwm1, to distinguish it from the current
version, which is now packaged as fvwm.
The manpages for the 1.24r modules have an appended "1", for example,
FvwmAudio1.1x, to distinguish them from the FVWM 2.xx manpages.
The modules live in /usr/lib/fvwm; see README.modules in that
directory for more information about the setup of FVWM modules on a
Debian system.
Conversion of the fvwm1 package to use the menu system
------------------------------------------------------
As of version 1.24r-32, the Debian fvwm1 package uses joost
witteveen's menu package. This allows the applications menu to show
all of the applications which have registered menu entries.
For full details of how best to utilise this system, see
update-menus(1) or file:/usr/share/doc/menu/html/index.html/.
Since fvwm 1.24r does not have a "read" or "include" command for its
fvwmrc files, the package has been set up so that the master
configuration file is /etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwmrc-menu. This is then
automatically transformed into /etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwmrc whenever
update-menus is run. If there is a modified version of system.fvwmrc
present when this package is installed, it will be copied to
/etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwmrc.save, and any changes may be manually
merged.
Fvwm1 and i18n
--------------
Thanks to a patch provided by Taketoshi Sano, fvwm1 now supports
i18n for window labels and so on. Please note that the default fonts
in /etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwmrc may not be suitable for all locales,
and may need modifying either there or in ~/.fvwmrc. If this is not
done, fvwm1 will not start for those locales.
The current defaults are:
# The menu font
Font -adobe-times-bold-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
# The font used in the window title bars.
WindowFont -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
# Font used to title icons with
IconFont -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
but these are all iso8859-1 encoded.
Here are some possibilities for iso8859-15 encoding:
# The menu font
Font -*-*-bold-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
# The font used in the window title bars.
WindowFont -*-*-bold-r-normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-80-*-*
# Font used to title icons with
IconFont -*-*-bold-r-normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-80-*-*
