FVWM-Crystal Version 3.2.0
--------------------------

This release is a major update that provide major new features.

I will first thank Kenneth E. Lester, Jr. Which kindly gave me the
permission to use his icons. His original and beautiful work can be
find at http://www.five-star.com/icons.htm

- The Thunar desktop manager was renamed to FVWM-Crystal desktop
manager. It provide desktop icons in 3 groups, which can be
shown/hidden on the fly:
- $HOME, - the XDG user directories and - the mounted partitions.
Support for more mount points was fixed.
It is a full rewrite from the scratch. The icons are grouped into a
fully transparent button, which make them both much more stable on
the screen and fully integrated into FVWM. The user can select the
icon actions between a list of file managers or set its own custom
commands. It make an extensive use of Kenneth's 2 images icons.

- Other Kenneth's icons was introduced into the Preference menu and
the Music menu.

- An icon from Cuba is introduced into the Preferences menu.

- New Geometry preference: let you select and apply on the fly the
number of desktop pages

- Added automatic hotkey support in the menus.

- 2 new recipes: LapLeft and LapRight. They are both a replacement for
the FullScreen recipe which was removed, and well suited for modern
wide screens.

- Improved the Font Selector.

- Fixed the synchronization and the flaky of the Expose clone, and made
it available via "Alt + E".

- New Bling bling function. Original idea from gronono on the gentoo
forum.

- The "Left click" menu can be enabled from the Preferences menu for all
recipes

- The Music menu is available in all recipes.

- Ported the documentation to asciidoc. Added fvwm-crystal man page.

- Added the contributors into the About form.

- Make the desktop and xsession files to be installed by default.

- And the usual bug fixes, including a fix for the clock not being
located in its button at initial startup on a new installation.
Thanks to Thomas Funk for reporting that and other issues.

See ChangeLog for details.
