I had the same problem, but luckily having used UNIX systems before I 
know that they can be very pigheaded. You'll need to make the mouse 
device file readable and writeable by any user. It's called 
/dev/quadmouse, I think, or if not that's a link to it.

No, it's very easy to install them and get them running. FVWM is a damn 
good one. However, if you want them to be configured to your liking 
it'll involve mucking around with .fvwmrc files etc.
