No, please brush your brain a little more. As you see these are actually
the same examples. The syntax colon-space was introduced in 2.3.21 only.
But it should work with 2.3.26 or the current pre-2.3.28. I myself prefer
to use module aliases (the example that is in the FAQ), because this way
I can start and stop independently several FvwmEvent instances, say one
for sound events and one to catch new windows. Module aliases are poorly
documented in the fvwm man page in the "MODULE COMMANDS" section.
So, please put the example from FAQ without leading spaces and restart.
It should work, send me your full config if it does not work for you.
If you have any ModulePath command, remove it, this only breaks things.
Regards,
Mikhael.
