+This file contains some general hints and tips especially when
+running applications under Linux where the desktop managers can
+vary greatly.
+
+
+Gnome
+=====
+
+* Q: Why is my text so blurry in fpGUI based applications, but it's fine
+ for other Gnome applications?
+
+ A: Gnome up to v2.22.3 doesn't create a ~/.fonts.conf file when you
+ adjust your desktop font settings. KDE does handle this correctly.
+ The blurry fonts are more prominent on LCD screens where subpixel
+ anti-aliasing makes a huge difference to the fonts appearance and how
+ sharp they look. If you run know and experience this problem, then
+ simply create a ~/.fonts.conf file that contains the following text.
+
+ ----------------[ .fonts.conf ]---------------------
+<?xml version="1.0"?>
+<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
+<fontconfig>
+ <match target="font" >
+ <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
+ <const>rgb</const>
+ </edit>
+ </match>
+ <match target="font" >
+ <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
+ <bool>true</bool>
+ </edit>
+ </match>
+ <match target="font" >
+ <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
+ <const>hintfull</const>
+ </edit>
+ </match>
+ <match target="font" >
+ <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
+ <bool>true</bool>
+ </edit>
+ </match>
+</fontconfig>

+
+FVMW2
+=====
+* Modal forms in FVWM2 window manager by default don't have any titlebar
+ or window borders. This is very annoying and makes that the user can't
+ resize or move those windows. To enable the window decorations you
+ need to uncomment the following line in the ~/.fvwm/globalfeel file:
+
+ Style * DecorateTransient
