As I stated I am using a minimal version of jwm.
I puposely did not use the icons for three reasons.

1. All the extra space that would be required to host icons.
2. The extra burden of rendereing them on very low end machines.
3. I had to make jwm work all the existing myDSL extensions that do not have any icon specified.

John and I may compile jwm with a different configuration than this current version.

I hope that I have not offended anyone with this minimal jwmrc file.
jwm is highly configurable within this single xml file. It is very cool. You can enable click on root window to access the menu.

Some thought has been given to have an icon pack as an extension. But again all existiing extensions have no icons specified. Still I thought it worth it to introduce jwm at this time.

No only can icons be used but it can have many different themes too. I am extremely impressed with the small size, easy configuration of jwm.

So don't judge jwm solely on this minimal jwmrc.

As always we are open to suggestions

The modules that were compiled with this kernel but not included in the base iso are now posted in the release candidate area. These include the sata modules the file is called modules_cut.tar.gz

Also posted in the sources directory is the kernel config for RC2.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting the inclusion of icons at all....that would be silly, particularly since I don't use them =o)
It's just that the supplied .jwmrc file already has 3 icon paths included, 2 of which are the same non-existent path...so i thought maybe they could be replaced by a single path that could actually be useful.

Also noticed that xfontsel is no longer in DSL.  Do you happen to have a list of any other programs that were removed?
