That's why I'm planning to do a small,

tutorial on how to get the most "generic" binaries possible.
Something that can work as widely as possible.
Unfortunately, the ambit of a downstream maintainer is a lot larger
than just producing a runnable binary. Just some of the high points:
1) Do the menu item(s) integrate themselves into the overall tree in
a way that makes sense given the distro’s overall menu arrangement?
It was the main reason why I begun to use FVWM-Crystal it was a few
years ago. It doesn't care about the files into /etc/xdg which, in most
cases if not all cases, have only a limited support for the freedesktop
additional categories. Instead, it only look for the categories into the
desktop files provided by the applications in /usr/share/applications.
The result is a full support for the additional categories and a menu
that will look the same with any distribution, that out of the box.
Also, it contain a few non in the norm categories for the Audio
category, like Sequencer or Notation, and it have a main Multimedia
category with 3 categories for Audio, AudioVideo and Video.
The last version of yesterday contain a preference editor for its key
modifiers. This is an easy way for fvwm-crystal's bindings to not
collide with software like ardour or emacs.
