I was aslo able to get fvwm "running"; however it must need a
significant amount of configuration since when I initailly ran it there
were no window controls,  windows could not be dragged...etc.. Basically
it was interesting looking, but unusable.

If the problems I was seeing sound like a configuration issue would you
send me a copy of your configuration files?

Thanks,
