Subject: Bug#3266: system.fvwmrc has wrong pixmap paths

Package: fvwm
Version: 1.24r.22

When I upgraded to Debian 1.1, my icons in fvwm disappeared. The location
of pixmaps and bitmaps has been moved, but /etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwmrc
still includes the old location.

The lines reading:
  PixmapPath /usr/include/X11/pixmaps/
  IconPath   /usr/include/X11/bitmaps/
Should now read:
  PixmapPath /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/
  IconPath   /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/

The directory /usr/include/X11 doesn't exist any more.

On a related point, I think it would be a good idea to add /usr/local/...
to the PixmapPath for locally available pixmaps.

A third comment:
There is an example of how to do xterms on remote hosts:

  *GoodStuff Dopey   rterm.xpm   Exec "" rsh dopey "exec xterm -T dopey
  -display $HOSTDISPLAY </dev/null >&/dev/null & "&

In order to get this to work properly, you need to start piping magic
cookies around. I've recently been told about the rstart command which
does this automatically. How about including an example which uses
the rstart command.

Could you share this with me?
