    Yay ! It works !

    I had some trouble with themes not installing correctly - I often had to
    manually put files into their individual
    directories and some simply did not work when installed. Also,
    wmakerconf kept crashing. Once I had manually (!)
    deleted them I slept on it and this morning ran /genmenu/, then
    /wmakerconf/ - and it worked !

    To make it even sweeter, the WMaker menu updates from Geir Thorstein
    Kristiansen's (gtk's) website also worked.

    Now to get Mutt going again ...

    Thanks guys,

    Adam Bogacki,
