FVWM: Fvwm Default Configuration

[Jaimos Skriletz]

Hello,

I have put together a default configuration to go with Fvwm. The configuration could use some testing. To test this config, use the default-config branch on github.

The default config will load if fvwm doesn't find any config file when starting. There is a script in the built in menu to copy the config into $FVWM_USERDIR or copy the default config from $PREFIX/share/fvwm/default-config.

A screenshot of the config can be found here Loading Image...

xterm is the default terminal. Edit the infostore variable at the top to change this.

If you have python-xdg and a .menu on your system, it should load a menu at start. The menu is not dynamic at this time.

If you have stalonetray installed the RightPanel will include a systemtray.

please share any comments you may have.

This looks interesting, Jaimos. I like the simple design, although I'm
not sure I like the colors but then you won't find enough colors to
please everyone - so might as well leave it be.

The panel on the right of the screen looks nice on wide-screen
monitors - but how will this look on laptops and smaller screens where
space is at a premium?

Functionally i couldn't break it - so that's good.

You mention the default config loads if theres no ~/.fvwm - i have
seen it load if i use "-f /tmp/doesnotexist" to fvwm - is this
intended?

Thanks for all your work - i love the comments in the file - it will
help me when i need to make changes!
