I have just finished modifying the above-mentioned m4 macro files, as
delivered with RedHat 4.1.  These are the macros defined in
/etc/X11/TheNextLevel/.

My aim was to rationalise the m4 output file (/tmp/fvwm2rc) to make it
easier to follow what went on in the m4 stage, and to fix the annoying
problem of the long menu of Screensavers and Screen Locks.  It was also
a chance to get to know m4.  It all now seems to be working, and I would
like a few volunteers to try them out.  The files can be tested without
touching your distribution files, but if you have made any changes to
copies in your $HOME directory, you will need to put them away somewhere
safe.

You should probably also be using xdm to start X11, but that is not
essential.  In order to keep startup times down, I have modified the
xsession file (which is just a link to .Xclients) to run the m4 output
file if it is newer than any of the macro files.

If you are interested, send me some mail.

Yours faithfully,
Peter
