Subject: Bug#3748: Pixmaps missing from fvwm package?

From: Larry Gilbert <[email-masked]>

Package: fvwm
Version: 1.24r-24

/usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/*.xpm files do not appear to be included
in the binary package.

I am in process of manually upgrading a Debian 0.93R6 system to 1.1.
The pixmaps were in an older release of fvwm, so this probably wouldn't
have been a problem had I not purged the older fvwm.  Still, I expected
pixmaps would be in this newest package.

You need to install the fvwm2 package.  That's where they live.
One might consider it a dependency problem.  But I think the two
packages should be independent.  Maybe we need a fvwmpixmap package
that each can depend on.

Yes, sure we need. Maybe just a "pixmaps" package, since there are
other window managers that can use pixmaps (afterstep, tvtwm?). It
could contains other pixmaps from the net beside the one that come
standard with fvwm.
