Please read this file before asking for help:

1. Compile problems

- First of all make sure, that you have done: >./configure

2. Start/Install problems

- DFM exits on the console and everything seems to work. 
  * This is normal.

- There are some error messages. 
  * DFM trys to generate some links to favorite programs. If the program
    isn't there there is an error Message.

- DFM exit on the console and the desktop doesn't appear.
  * Make sure that you have libXpm 4.7 or above.
  * Make sure that no window hides the icons. (Press right mouse on the
    rootwindow)

- The desktop appear with "NO ICON" icons. (DFM can't find the icons)
  * Read INSTALL once again.
  * You may install dfm manually: Copy "dfm" to a binary-directory.
    Copy "share" to a folder you want to (you may change the name). 
    Copy "dfmext_samples/dfmext_normal" to "~/.dfmext", "/etc/dfmext", 
    "/usr/etc/dfmext" or "/usr/local/etc/dfmext". Edit the dfmext file 
    according to the icons in the copied "share" folder.

3. Working problems 

* See BUGS

- DFM don't save the info of the desktop. I've proved the settings in 
  each window ...
  * Make sure you have done "DFM for X -> Save position/info"

- The information of some windows will not be saved.
  * Take a look into the options of the window. Look at Windowinfo...
    and Iconinfo...

- Windowplacement isn't correct
  * Sorry, use dfm before 0.99.0 or use another windowmanager
    You may mail me the problem
