Actually, if I got it right, things are a little different: mandrake uses
a hack of debian menu system and the file /etc/X11/fvwm2/menu is created
by update-menus everytime a freshly installed rpm calls it within its
postin script.
Moreover, I am starting to realize that probably the problem is caused by
the persons who package the programs. Take for example manedit: it is an
item which in my menu gets a big icon. Now, in /etc/X11/fvmw2/menu I have
the entry
+ "&ManEdit%/usr/share/icons/mini/manedit.png%" Exec /usr/bin/manedit
which is correct. On the other hand, have a look at this output:
[18:30:15]$ identify /usr/share/icons/mini/manedit.png
/usr/share/icons/mini/manedit.png PNG 48x48 DirectClass 8-bit 4226b 0.0u 0:01
[18:30:16]$ identify /usr/share/icons/large/manedit.png
/usr/share/icons/large/manedit.png PNG 16x16 DirectClass 8-bit 697b 0.0u 0:01
It looks like the packager inverted the two icons!!! If it is like so, I
fear there is no way out from here.
Yet one question still remain: why in kde the menu nevertheless looks
right and why fvwm2 is not able to behave the same way?
