I am not surprised that GNOME2 does not work well with FVWM. I hope
that FVWM 2.6 will work not so bad. However, can you describe the
problem you had?

What about running just the gnome2 panel?

No you should use FvwmIconMan in the place of FvwmTaskBar and add a
(swallowed) clock and move your task bar launchers to some new
FvwmButtons buttons. For others mini apps you should find the good
one's yourself (FvwmButtons can swallow AfterStep and WindowMaker
applets) or you can do it yourself with FvmwScript. There are a mixer
in fvwm-themes (under the script dir) and a FvwmScript battery monitor
has been send recently to this list (~ 1st december, Subject:
FvwmScript scripts eating memory).
