Hi Mikhael
Just read your mail (not at home) - thanks. I'll try
it out when I get back. But still, none of my
system.fvwm2rc or .fvwm2rc files around (locate) has
anything to do with my installation (?) - anyway, I'll
have to read the theme-faq and the other documentation
before asking more, I think. Also to try the
"fvwm-config", never tried it, so maybe it reveals
some other info. Ok, I'll get back. Thanks. /nikolaj
