This not necessary since you can call FvwmForm with an arg. From the
man page:
INITIALIZATION
FvwmForm uses the same configuration file (usually .fvwmrc
in the user's home directory) as Fvwm. To use FvwmForm
for multiple input forms, simply create symbolic links
with different names, and they will be treated as differ
ent modules. Or, you can invoke FvwmForm with an optional
parameter, which it will use as the name instead (e.g.
'Module FvwmForm QuitVerify'). That way you don't even
have to make a symbolic link for it!
Pretty nice, uh?
Emilio.
