[much complicated stuff deleted]
currently, we seem to have a movement towards a prefix for mini icons:
e.g: mini.move.xpm. That makes the pixmap directory rather crowded.
perhaps convert the mini. to a mini/
or: (I'd like this one most)
hierarchy below PixmapPath:
PixmapPath/64x64/
PixmapPath/32x32/
PixmapPath/16x16/
and some sort of
IconDirectory 64x64
MiniIconDirectory 16x16
in .fvwm2rc, to choose, which icons to use where. (I prefer smaller icons
than others, even on a BIG screen)
