In order for the session management to be enabled you must first start X
with a running session manager such as gnome-session. Here is my
~/.xinitrc

/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm-themes-start --no-start
/usr/bin/gnome-session

I then issue a normal startx command.
Session management must also be selected from...
Root Menu > Themes Management > Current > Settings > Session Manager

Attached is a small tarball containing a simple theme I created, with a
README containing a short tutorial on creating your own themes. This
simple theme provides a basic example of modifying components for a very
simple theme. More documentation is included with the fvwm-themes
package and on http://fvwm-themes.sourceforge.net
It may be simply installed by issuing the following command as a user at
a prompt.

fvwm-themes-config --install ft-example-theme-0.6.x.tar.gz

Or for a site wide install as root by this command....

fvwm-themes-config --site --install ft-example-theme-0.6.x.tar.gz

After installation the README can be viewed by clicking on Root Menu >
Theme Management > Example > README

> 3,how can I setup and configure screen saver?

If you have installed the xscreensaver package then you should be able
to access a great many screensaver choices from the Root Menu > Screen
Saver menus. You may be able to find this package on your install CD.

More information on your fvwm and fvwm-themes installations can be
viewed by issuing the following commands...

fvwm-config --info
fvwm-themes-config --info
