Application Manager: Maybe with the help of some extensible (but sane and standalone, with
normal titlebar) file manager, but question remains how to send enumerated apps from such a
file manager view to Front Panel subpanels or as submenu. Probably external drag and drop
applet which can be swallowed in subpanels to accept drop with middle mouse move and edit
subpanel configuration? This will than replace Subpanels Manager app, but it must also have
functions for editing, deleting etc ... In the time of writing this, file managers supporting
this functionality with menu://applications/ pseudo path are known to be
PCManFM and PCManFM-qt. Any KDE KIO based application with the right set of plugins installed
on the system can serve as a application manager. For example, file managers Dolphin, Krusader
and Konqueror are known to use programs: pseudo path.
If some of above mentioned applications are found on the system it will be defined as
$[infostore.appmgr]
and placed on the Front Panel's eighth launcher
instead of icon for default editor.
Action builder (dtaction) - not likely ever. Use FvwmScript or maybe some Python gui bindings.
Session Management (dtsession) - NsCDE can use the external custom Session Managers from
various DE's. See examples in $NSCDE_ROOT/share/doc/nscde/examples
.
Since there are similar programs in existence, plus FVWM's own functions for automatic
start of programs, NsCDE is more or less covered here.
