[ale] Weird window-manager shenanigans on debian 12...

[William Wylde]

For a long time, FVWM was my go-to.  OR FVWM2, anyway.   It was fun to mess
around with the configs.    I still only have 4 apps pinned to my taskbar:
web browser, terminal, fileman, and featherpad.   Though I use nano more
than featherpad, actually.
