Description Dirk Mueller 2007-05-10 12:19:37 UTC
Hi, 

for the 1 CD KDE installation I'm looking at dependencies, and sax2 currently has a hard dependency on fvwm2. can kwin optionally be used instead?

fvwm2 is not lightweight as it pulls in imlib and gtk1, which is otherwise not needed I think.

I would like to stick on fvwm2 because it works like I expect it to work
and it allows me to configure it like I want. YaST requires fvwm2 as well 
 
Comment 3 Dirk Mueller 2007-05-10 19:12:53 UTC
the yast requirement for fvwm2 comes via sax2. unless you're talking about installation-image, which is imho something different. 

how about icewm-lite ? it is 10% of the size of fvwm2. it also doesn't pull in gtk1 and glib1 (only via imlib right now, but thats already likely fixed). 
Comment 4 Lars Vogdt 2007-05-10 20:49:34 UTC
Rudi splitted fvwm2 into fvwm2 main package and fvwm2-gtk. So we can get rid of the gtk1 and glib1 dependencies.

In reply to comment #3:
Dirk this is not true. YaST requires a windowmanager in order to handle
the focus and window events correctly. The windowmanager which is used here
is fvwm2 and has nothing to do with sax2. There is a special fvwmrc used
for that purpose:

   rpm -qf /usr/share/fvwm/fvwmrc.yast2
   yast2-installation-2.15.7-2

YaST2 in the first stage of the installation includes fvwm2 and sax2
doesn't even exist at that level 
Comment 6 Dirk Mueller 2008-09-01 09:39:46 UTC
even though it was actually resolved as later, I think sax no  longer requires fvwm2.
