Nope. Goodstuff has been replaced by FvwmButtons. FvwmAuto is still
there though...

You can use "AddToFunc InitFunction" to start whatever you want. Take
a look at the sample system.fvwmrc included in the distribution.

There is a FAQ in the 2.xx distribution, although I just realized that
I never put any explicit mention of GoodStuff being replaced in
there... Take a look at it, and the man pages as well.
And please keep in mind that fvwm2 is still in a beta state and hasn't
been officially released yet.
