I have to agree. I for one usually work with a 3x1 implementation of FVWM.
I just recently moved to 4x1. I don't get too fancy, I just don't like
overlapping windows. If it hadn't have been for the virtual desktops, I
wouldn't kill myself trying to compile fvwm :) I would just stick with the
MWM on the system.
