That is the case. Fvwm reads the config files, and the modules get
their config info from fvwm. The reason being that this is the only
way for modules to deal w/ m4 and cpp preprocessing cleanly.
Granted, if you don't use these (which I don't) then the advantage of
just being able to restart a module and pick up it's new config is
lost.
On the TO-DO list I have plans to update the FvwmTalk module to be
able to accept module config info, which will help here (you can make
small changes on the fly quickly that way).
Or you can put the module config info in a separate file and use the
'Read <file>' command to load the changes without restarting fvwm.
