I will... I want to add more functionality, and add some serious error
catching.  I don't want the user to be able to accidentally remove his
config file, and then not have a desktop.
So I will need to add in a check where it looks for the file, and if it
doesn't exist makes it.  I already have a backup function (while you are
editing your changes)... but it is pretty simple.
So, when it becomes a bit more 'safe' I will let others use it.
probably once I get to a 0.01 version.  There is much I have to refactor
and clean up... unless there is someone else who likes programming, and
wants to help out, I don't want users to use this yet, as it is too
unfinished.  When it is closer I will even make a ppa for it.

Since you are so into helping... I have been thinking about the
directory structure more.
I think we should have a themes directory in the .jwm directory.  In
there we can have theme folders with their own panel file, etc... what
do you think about that?

Also... I have been looking into the menu structure a bit... and want to
figure out a way to make the programs in the menu have a better menu
structure.  I don't entirely understand what is going on with the menu
stuff.... but the docs are at /usr/share/doc/menu/html if you have jwm
installed on Debian/Ubuntu.

I'd like a much cleaner menu similar to what other wm have (like
LXDE/XFCE) with simple categories.
