This minor release of Fvwm-Nightshade includes the following:

- Localization support for German, French and Spanish
- Tab cycling in both directions with Alt-Tab (forward) and
Alt-Shift-Tab (backwards)
- Included Python scripts work now with Python 2 and 3
- Many Bugfixes

It's not a big release but it makes 0.6 more stable :-)

It can be downloaded from our website
http://fvwm-nightshade.github.io/Fvwm-Nightshade
or from Box-look.org
http://box-look.org/content/show.php?content=156697

If anyone wants to contribute, we need translations for the following
languages: Russian, Italian and Swedish.

I want to thank all people who helped us. Especially Jesús J. Guerrero
Botella for proofreading of the Spanish translation.

Best,
Thomas Funk

Hi,

I try it with the code from the git. I hope it is in sync.

I get the same problem than before with the application menu: it
doesn't exist, all I can do is to launch its configuration script,
which remain desperately empty.

The only messages I get are:

[FvwmForm-Form][FlocaleGetFontSet]: (9x15bold) Missing font charsets:
ISO8859-2, ISO8859-3, ISO8859-4, ISO8859-5, KOI8-R, ISO8859-7,
ISO8859-9, ISO8859-13, ISO8859-14, ISO8859-15, JISX0208.1983-0,
KSC5601.1987-0, GB2312.1980-0, JISX0201.1976-0, ISO10646-1
[FNS-BaseSetup][FlocaleGetFontSet]: (9x15bold) Missing font charsets:
ISO8859-2, ISO8859-3, ISO8859-4, ISO8859-5, KOI8-R, ISO8859-7,

impossible d'accéder à /home/dom/.fvwm-nightshade/themes/: Aucun
fichier ou dossier de ce type ls: impossible d'accéder
à /home/dom/.fvwm-nightshade/layouts/: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce
type

I think some additional steps are needed in order to make the
applications menu to work. On gentoo, fvwm-menu-desktop is just
installed at the same time than fvwm, but no configuration at all is
made.
I think it can be the same issue with most distributions at the
exception of Debian, which have always been talking care of the menu
integration in all wm/dekstops.

If I run 'fvwm-menu-desktop', it output nothing.
If I run the examples in the man page and try other options, fvwm
tell me they are obsolete.

$ fvwm-menu-desktop
$ fvwm-menu-desktop --desktop kde-user --enable-mini-icons WARNING:
Argument "desktop" obsolete. Ignored.
$ fvwm-menu-desktop --type gtk WARNING: Argument "type" obsolete.

Hi Dominique,

Post by Dominique Michel
I think some additional steps are needed in order to make the
applications menu to work. On gentoo, fvwm-menu-desktop is just
installed at the same time than fvwm, but no configuration at all is
made.

It works only with fvwm 2.6.6 and only from CVS. the latest snapshot
is buggy - fvwm-menu-desktop-config.fpl isn't available there. This
Module FvwmPerl -l fvwm-menu-desktop-config.fpl

I updated to fvwm-2.6.6(cvs), and the menu configurator is still empty
with Nkghshade, but this command work, even if I get no menu in
$FVWM_USERDIR/.menu

I think it can be the same issue with most distributions at the
exception of Debian, which have always been talking care of the menu
integration in all wm/dekstops.

I have tested it on several distributions - Fedora, Arch, OpenSuse,
Debian and Ubuntu and on all it works correctly.
That's right. These are options from the old perl script. Which
version is installed? $ fvwm-menu-desktop --version
If it is 2.0 or higher than one thing could be ...

It is 2.1 now.

Post by Thomas Funk
Have a look in /etc/xdg/menus. Are there any .menu files especially
applications.menu? If not than it is clear that no menu appears.

$ ls -R /etc/xdg/menus
/etc/xdg/menus:
applications-merged kde-information.menu
xfce-applications.menu gnome-applications.menu
lxde-applications.menu xfce-settings-manager.menu
kde-4-applications.menu lxlauncher-applications.menu

/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged:
electronics.menu zeroinstall.menu

Post by Thomas Funk
These files are mandatory. Without them nothing happens. If
fvwm-menu-desktop-config.fpl is available and you see no menu listed
at the top of the gui ...

with most distributions at the exception of Debian, which have always
been talking care of the menu integration in all wm/dekstops. If I
run 'fvwm-menu-desktop', it output nothing. If I run the examples in
the man page and try other options, fvwm tell me they are obsolete.
$ fvwm-menu-desktop $ fvwm-menu-desktop --desktop kde-user
--enable-mini-icons WARNING: Argument "desktop" obsolete. Ignored.
$ fvwm-menu-desktop --type gtk WARNING: Argument "type" obsolete.
Ignored. Best, Dominique -- "We have the heroes we deserve."

I have guessed it ... you have python-xdg > 0.19 installed, right?

I have had the same problem on an Arch test system. There was 0.25
installed. They have changed something but I haven't had the time to
analyze it. I will look over it at the weekend hopefully.

Thanks,
