Hey, another fvwm user!  BAC, Thomas, have you experimented with running 
windowmaker applets under fvwm?  I really like a lot of the applets WM  
offers, (e.g., wmmount), but can't seem to get it to work inside of 
the fvwmbutton module.

Also, since I installed SuSE 9 on this laptop (fvwm2 ver 2.5.7), the 
buttonbar no longer works with swallowed apps.  Have you run into any of 
that?  I still haven't visited the 

Lately I read the fvwm stuff from issue #3 and discovered a few things 
that had escaped me, and a few I'd forgotten about, like the ability to 
drag windows between VD's via the pager.  As old as it is, from my 
viewpoint, there are still some aspects to fvwm that other wm's never 
caught up to.  IMO, it's a good compromise between lightweight and the 
heavier DT environs like KDE and Gnome.  However, the cfg process is 
pretty much manual via edit of .fvwm2rc
