I say damn! Its working! Well I have to say thanks - that goes to Jason
Kibblewhite, Alex Wallis, Dan Espen, Dominik Vogt (sorry if I forgot
some) - Im impressed about Fvwm2, nice work, I must say.
"fvwm-themes-start" in Xclients (home dir) did the trick - Xclients
wasn't there after install as root - I thought that was meant to be.
Well, I'll "delve" bask to the themes for the rest of the evening. See
yea.
