OK. I usually have no problem querying, mc-ing, installing, or
rebuilding srpms---regardless of whether the srpm is intended for a
particular distribution. And past srpms for fvwm and fvwm-themes worked
just fine. That's the only reason I thought there was a problem with
the files.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the information.
