lol, that might be the most appropriate description about the
the fvwm man page.

I actually kind of admire their subbornness about making
their online documentation more navigatable. I did see a
pretty good rendition of the documentation that was linked
and groupable in various ways, depending on preference,
but since it's not even linked on the official site, I've lost
track of where it is.

Sounds like my coding in general. I haven't really started
to take advantage of fvwm's advanced abilities. I hope to
start messing with some of the modules next weekend
and in the next couple of days I plan to write my first
dynamic menu.

Basically it would list the contents of my Desktop folder.
While I like the idea of saving temporary files to a
'Desktop', fvwm's clean desktop by not having desktop
icons has also grown on me. Solution: a dynamic menu
listing the contents when I open it.

It would also be nice if I could assign actions to them
based on their file types; we'll see.
