+This directory contains some configuration files for the debian menu
+system. These files should be edited to fit with your system and
+copied to either /etc/menu-methods/ if you are root or to ~/.menu-methods/
+as a simple user.
+
+* wm-icons.h contains functions that you may used in any "menu method"
+ script. You should edit/check the systemFindIcon function.
+
+* wm-icons-data.h contains "data functions" used in wm-icons.h: a map from
+ the "standard sections" and wm-icons icons and a map from packages name
+ to wm-icons icons.
+
+* wm-icons-fvwm2rc-menu is a menu-method script for FVWM. You should add
+ Read wm-icons/menudefs.hook
+ in the configuration file and bind it in some ways e.g.:
+ add:
+ + "menu system%menu/programs.xpm" Popup "/DebianWmIcons"
+ in your root menu
+ or add say:
+ Mouse 1 R A Menu "/DebianWmIcons"
+
+* Other window managers: just (copy and rename and) edit the correponding
+ menu methods script; you should add "!include wm-icons.h" and then you
+ can use the functions wmIconsFindSectionIcon($section,$icon,"menu/")
+ for the section icons and wmIconsFindIcon($section,$package,$icon,"menu/")
+ for the application icons.
+
+Good luck!
