Another AS suggestion...

Currently, if I want to install a new Look or Feel or Picture, I either
need to:
- install it globally to all users in /usr/share/afterstep
- install it in my ~/G/L/A dir, but lose all the globally installed LFPs...
- install it in my ~/G/L/A dir, and copy the global LFPs to this dir as well.
All 3 are disadvantageous, for various reasons. I propose that if the
Start Menu generator sees that the user has a look/feel/picture directory
in their ~/G/L/A dir, *AND* there is a "include_defaults" file,
then both the /usr/share/afterstep LFPs *and* the user's LFPs are included,
maybe separated by a line in case of naming comflicts.
Unless, of course, I'm missing something here (with 1.4.5.55N6...)
