I am using fvwm95. Can I add shortcuts onto the menu when I install
some new apps? For example, after I installed Netscape Navigator, can
I add "Netscape" on to the floating menu? How do I do it?

Thanks in advance. Please reply via mail

Correction to my last post, copy the global fvwm2rc file to your home
directory as .fvwm2rc not .fvwmrc. .fvwmrc is the name of the file used by
fvwm not fvwm2. If you are using fvwm95 the file is called .fvwm2rc95

sorry for any confusion i may have induced.

Yes, you can add any program to any menu or even create new menus.

Take a look at your .fvwm2rc dile ( if you don't have one in your $HOME
directory then copy the global fvwm2rc file to your directory as .fvwmrc.

The file is very well documented and you can have some fun customizing your X
session to your personal tastes.

try /usr/lib/X11/system.fvwmrc
or /usr/lib/X11/fvwm/system.fvwmrc

Worked for me.

The standard slackware setup places the example fvwmrc file called
system.fvwmrc in the /etc/X11/fvwm directory.
I can't find the fvwm2 information but if it is on your system there will
be one. I keep a generic file called fvwm2rc95 in /etc but that may not
be common. I do it to allow users to access it for copying to their home
in case I forget when I setup the account.

I just stumbled across it. The example is called system.fvwm2rc95
and is located in:
/usr/local/lib/X11/fvwm95-2

I hope this helps.

If you're having trouble finding files, try using the updatedb/locate
set of commands. I beleive you must be root to use updatedb, but I
think locate works for anyone.

Hopefully you have man pages installed for these two.

It may be there as system.fvwmrc or whatever. On my 1.2.13 it's to be found
in /var/X11R6/lib/fvwm. Judicious use of locate or find should pinpoint it
for you.

If you can't find stuff, the next step is to read the man pages for
"find", or better yet, "updatedb" and "locate".
