There are a few (possibly very old and outdated) .fvwm2rc files along with
some of the screenshots at www.fvwm.org, too.

I think I was under the impression that Gnome and KDE were different
animals than FVWM. You can use window managers like FVWM and
Enlightenment under Gnome and KDE. I personally think Gnome and KDE are
about as useful as Windows 3.1 was over DOS. "Windows 3.x - a colourful
clown suit for DOS." But I guess this is bordering on a rant.
Anyways, back to useful info for newbies, I found it most useful to get an
fvwm dot file from somebody and start editing it to see what happened. If
you get one with a screenshot, it makes it that much easier to pick the
parts you like and change the parts you don't.
