Alternatively, recompile AfterStep using the --enable-fixeditems option. 
 Then move the Desktop menu (and anything else you want _never_ to lose and 
to be available to all users) from /usr/local/share/afterstep/start to 
/usr/local/share/afterstep/fixed.

I did this with 1.6.10-1 and it made me very happy.

If you prefer using rpms to tarballs, get the source rpm, install it, edit 
AfterStep.spec as follows

	change

./configure --prefix=%{prefix}

	to

./configure --prefix=%{prefix} --enabled-fixeditems

	and remove the line beginning 'Epoch:' (why is this in there?).

You can then build the Afterstep rpm ('rpm -ba' or 'rpm -bb') and install 
it.
