I'm still fairly new to debian, so I'm not all that familiar with dpkg,

I'm running fvwm 2.2.4-2 on Debian 2.2r2 (potato), and there's something
that's been bugging me for a while.
I don't have an .fvwm2rc in my home directory, so fvwm looks at Debian's
/etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc and then reads the various hook files in
~/.fvwm. This generally works OK
