A beta-test version of gwm "final cut" version is on expo & avahi, in
gwm/gwm-1.7_beta.shar.Z

It is a version with all kown bugs fixed, and a better organization of the
standard profile (twm and mwm modes are inchanged, with bug fixes for mwm).
The menu code is now more sensible...

The version number is incremented from 1.6 to 1.7 because there is one
incompatiblity: gwm now uses the XPM v2 format for reading color icons, and no
more XPM v1 format (converters are provided in the xpm v2.8 distrib included
in the xpm subdir)

I made this version for including all the contributed patches I received, and
to have a somewhat robust version before 2.0 is out... this yearish...

CAVEAT:
This is a beta version because I didn't have time to update the doc yet...
No CHANGES files either, but the revision.c files details the low-level
changes made
