You should choose whether to use your own fvwm2rc or the fvwm-themes
functionality in which case you should create your personal configuration
parts in the format that fvwm-themes expects, see the FVWM Themes FAQ.
As for the location of system.fvwm2rc, run the following to find it out:
% fvwm-config --fvwm-datadir
For compatibility reasons (only) FVWM also searches for system.fvwm2rc in
this directory:
% fvwm-config --sysconfdir
We suggest to put all system wide configuration files into FVWM_DATADIR
that is by default /usr/local/share/fvwm, or /usr/share/fvwm in rpm.
User configuration file .fvwm2rc is searched in:
% fvwm-config --default-userdir
that is $HOME/.fvwm starting from 2.3.17.
For compatibility reasons (only) this file is also searched in $HOME.
And to be complete, .fvwm2rc is also searched in FVWM_DATADIR as usual.
Here is the search order, the first found file is used:
$FVWM_USERDIR/.fvwm2rc # /home/joe/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc
$HOME/.fvwm2rc # /home/joe/.fvwm2rc (compatibility only)
$FVWM_DATADIR/.fvwm2rc # /usr/local/share/fvwm/.fvwm2rc
$FVWM_DATADIR/system.fvwm2rc # /usr/local/share/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc
$SYSCONFDIR/system.fvwm2rc # /usr/local/etc/system.fvwm2rc (compat.)
Note, the existing interface to fvwm-config is intended to be supported
forever (that can't be said for configuration directories and file names)
and it should be used to query your existing FVWM instalation, see:
http://fvwm.org/generated/manpages/fvwm-config.html
