Thanks. I had two small problems I thought I should report.

First, fvwm-2.4.0-2.i386.rpm requires libstroke.so.0, which is not present
by default on any version of RedHat. Fortunately, the Mandrake cooker RPM
libstroke0-0.5.1-1mdk.i586.rpm installed fine for me.

Second, I had trouble with fvwm24_convert, because of this:

if ( $source eq "") {
  $source = "$$HOME/.fvwm2rc";
}

and this:

if ($dest eq "") {
  $dest = "$$HOME/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc";
}


I don't know what $$HOME is supposed to mean; it should be $ENV{HOME}.
