I am a newbie to fvwm. I have recently installed it and I am
in the process of configuring it to my willings. But I really
think the manual is too long and to detailed for a first grap
of how things are configured, even after printing it and
reading almost of it. So for newbie users like me, such
introductory documentation would be welcome. Please, write it
and make it available.
