You can do this as a temporary solution, but this is not supported. If you
use this on a regular basis you don't get a fully functional fvwm-themes.
There is a support of "personal" theme for additions like starting xterms.
If you need to use your .fvwm2rc configuration with fvwm-themes, I really
suggest to spend some time and divide it to components like "menustyle",
"windowlook", "colors", "globalfeel", "modules", see doc/creating-themes.
You will not feel sorry for spending your time, because:
1) Your config will work nice with other themes (any component mixes)
2) You will get help and advice in creating themes if needed
3) You can distribute your working out of the box theme to others

Mikhael.
