Indeed, an FVWM config is a very personal thing. I was using fvwm exclusively for about 20 years before I recently switched to enlightenment. What I find most amazing is that this very personal fvwm configuration of mine was working almost unchanged for all those years and never let me down, although a lot of config directives where marked deprecated at some point. I switched to enlightenment on my two major workstations when they acquired multiple monitors. On computers where I login only occasionally I use icewm with default config, except for sloppy mouse focus. > Trouble is, *I* have never been able to configure it into usefulness.
