Any xclients that you want started when you startup X go in your .xinitrc.
This would include xterms, xclocks, xmeters, AND the window manager.
Specify the geometry for your initial xterms and xclients so they don't
get put on top of each other. A sample might be this:
xclock -geometry (your geometry here) &
Note the use of & at the end ... every line should have this except your
last line, which will read
exec fvwm95
replace fvwm95 with whatever window manager you need to run.
Menus are controlled from the .fvwmrc file ... check the manpage for
fvwm95 for a complete description. I'd send you mine but my fileserver's
down at the moment.

this message has been brought to you by the number -7, the letter ê and the

money to invent email. So I guess we could thank Ben Franklin, 'cause
without electricity, we couldn't have ELECTRONIC mail. Of course,
without the chinese guy who invented kites, ol' Ben couldn't a' done his
stuff.... and wow, that guy who invented string ....
