The recompiled vtwm has properly-spaced menus, but you have to fix all the compile errors first. See other recent messages about that.

This file contains two compile error reports along with what I did to fix the problems. A third compile error due to missing #ifdef is in a separate message.

I've found the vtwm compiled binaries (default package install) on Ubuntu always show menus with huge spaces between the items. If I compile the source myself, the menus are normal. Attached is a screen shot from Ubuntu 26.04 that uses vtwm 5.4.7-9build1 -- it's as if every menu item has an extra blank line inserted after it.

I think I got to the page via Duck Duck Go, which means it's the page that is in the index and needs to be redirected to the new page that has the right information.
