I have mentioned this before, but my wish for fvwm is to have the
DEFAULT config file split into sections, to make it easier for
individual users to change things like style without having to copy the
entire .fvwmrc file. This would make it easier for novice users to debug
faults in their configuration.
Another advantage to this system, would be that it would allow modules
to be written easily by different people, that could change the
configuration of fvwm, in keeping with the modular structure of fvwm.
I reckon that most users already split their files and use M4 or CPP to
sort their files, but this takes a bit of knowledge, so setting it as
standard would help newbies.
For those who already like the one file config, the -f option would
allow them to continue as normal.
I propose a system fvwm directory with
Style
mouse
module
function
popup
etc files
and a home fvwm directory as defaults
the user would then be free to only edit those files as needed and would
save system's admin and fvwm mail lists a lot of hassel.
lots of people do this in practice, I ask that it becomes standard.
