Thanks for everyone who tried to help, and sorry for being not clear. What I
wanted is to keep the original .fvwmrc file, which is a link to the system rc
file, and to define a .fvwmrc+ file, in which I can put my own preferences.

>From Martin's suggestion, i had a hint: I will try to call fvwm in this way :
fvwm -f "cat ~/.fvwmrc ~/.fvwmrc+"
I didn't try that yet, and I don't know what happens if there is conflicts
within the rc and the rc+ files.

Thanks
