Elitist? No. That sort of attitude is ridiculous. That's not going to get
you anywhere. FVWM might historically have been "one of the first WMs", but
that does not mean we should dick about with an air of arrogance.
Just make the thing not look like it's from 1995 [1].

This is tenuous, because there's absolutely *no* requirement that FVWM is
compiled against XPM support, or PNG, or SVG support. So, stick to vector
buttons, please. I do not want to make any one of those dependencies
mandatory at the sake of a default config.

[1] It's worth pointing out at this point that should this *really*
necessitate development time on FVWM to introduce some absolutely
cannot-live-without feature that drags this WM out of 1995, I'd consider
that as well, but tentatively so. :)
