Just to ad my two cents to this, I found the fvwm documentation overwhelming
and not terribly useful to someone trying to get it configured from scratch.
I am coming at this as a computer professional with a great deal of
expertise with computers, software, and programming. I had to hack my way
through this by starting with an existing configuration, taking what worked
to my liking on blind faith, and tweaking what I wanted changed. I still have
no idea what many options mean exactly or what the ramifications would be of
a switching values. There is really no easy way to figure this out. It is
also no clear what the various modules do or how/why I would use them. I
think some form of startup guide would immensly useful.
On the positive side, the support here is tremendous and my questions are
usually answered quickly and concisely with the exact information I need.
