FVWM: Simple Key Bindings.

[Thanks to anyone who offered advice on compiling Fvwm2, it was FVWM_MODULEDIR]

Having finally managed to get FVWM compiled I have a few (minor) problems adapting to it
from 'olvwm'.

I tried to set up key bindings to emulate diamond-w and diamond-q, which iconise
and close windows.

I added this to my .fvwmrc:

Key W FST M Iconify +1

(the help says to use the keyname from /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h, it doesn't
exist on our system, I used both the number and the name 'W' which appeared under
xmodmap -pke)

This doesn't work. How should it read?

I'm also having problems getting icons to settle in one place.
Style "*" IconBox +0 -20 +500 -0
This should be the bottom left corner yes? This is the only reference to IconBox left yet
icons just appear everywhere.

And lastly, and most importantly, does anyone have any idea why I can't use my arrow keys
in aplications like 'Knews' anymore? (I sorted out the SunDoom problem of not being able
to fire [Ctrl] and move [Arrow] keys at the same time. Some bindings are just no worth
it! ;-) )
