The first impression decides whether a newbie use fvwm or not.
It depends on two things:
1. the look. We live in the 21th century. The times of MWM, TWM or CDE are over.
Whether it suits us or not the most user compare the look with KDE, Gnome,
Xfce or LXDE. It is not important if there is transparency, 3D effects or
other
eye candy things implemented. But the colors should look fresh, the buttons
not too glunky and the borders not too fat.
2. the key bindings. There are "standards" which used in other WMs or DEs.
We should create a list depending on other environments to hit the most
popular key bindings.

Vectors are an interesting thing of fvwm. It's gentle of resource and it
adjusts to the screen resolution. Yep :-)
Over the years I've worked with fvwm the most configs I saw in the forum are
mostly clear, tidy and reduced to the basics. The default config should go
this way also. Only a clock and a pager should available. Perhaps other parts
can be activated over a setup - light and clean ;-)
