ChangeButton command.
* fvwm-menu-desktop updated:
- Renamed default menu to XDGMenu and changed the name
of the FvwmForm to FvwmForm-XDGMenu-Config to not conflict
with someone already using FvwmMenu.

- Added new options: --regen-cmd, --dynamic, and more.

no longer loops infinitely.
Changes in stable release 2.6.6 (15-Mar-2016)
* New fvwm features:
- Support for Russian from Ivan Gayevskiy.
- EnvMatch supports infostore variables.
- The option "forget" to the Maximize command allows to
unmaximize a window without changing its size and position.
- Windows shaded to a corner (NW, NE, SW, SE) are reduced to a
small square.
- New option "!raise" to the WarpToWindow command.
- The new extended variables $[wa.x], $[wa.y], $[wa.width],
$[wa.height] can be used to get the geometry of the EWMH
working area, and $[dwa.x], $[dwa.y], $[dwa.width],
$[dwa.height] can be used to get the geometry of the EWMH
dynamic working area.
- The Resize commands accept "wa" or "da" as a suffix of the
width or height value. If present, the value is a percentage
of the width or height of the EWMH working area or the EWMH
dynamic working area.
- Fvwm is much more resilient against applications that flood the
window manager with repeated events.
* New module features:
- FvwmForm supports separator lines.
- New FvwmIconMan options:
IconAndSelectButton
IconAndSelectColorset
* Bug fixes:
- Provide a wrapper for the deprecation of XKeycodeToKeysym and
use XkbKeycodeToKeysym() where appropriate.
- fvwm-menu-desktop is re-written and provides better support of
the XDG menu specification.
- Fix fvwm-menu-desktop keyError bug. Use "others" if no desktop
environment found.
- FvwmIconMan had problems displaying the hilight colour on some
systems (64 bit issue?).
- Globally active windows cannot take the focus if the style
forbids programs to take focus themselves (style
!FPFocusByProgram).
- Windows no longer jump from one position to the other which
could happen in some cases with SnapAttraction. Windows now
snap to the closest window (or screen edge).
- Removing bindings had several strange side effects that are
fixed now (removing too many bindings; old bindings showing up
again after another is removed; possibly other effects).
- Windows sometimes did not get expose events (i.e. did not
redraw properly) if they were uncovered by moving a window
above them. This has been fixed.
- FvwmConsole now causes much less network traffic.
- Suppress bogus events sent to the modules when a window is
resized with the mouse.
- Properly handle the has_ref_window_moved flag for ResizeMove and
ResizeMoveMaximize.
- Removed some unnecessary redraws in FvwmPager.
- The option "NoDeskLimitY" option of the GotoPage command did
not work.
- Negative coordinates in the "rectangle" option to the Menu
commend did not work correctly. This has been fixed.
- Removes a slight graphics problem whith the ResizeMaximize
command being invoked from a window button menu.
- When an attempt to reparent a client window (i.e. decorate
it) fails, fvwm no longer throws away all events but only the
events for that window.
- The ChangeButton command of FvwmButtons used to strip
whitespace from the beginning and end of button titles and
image paths. This is no longer done.
