So, what does this section from the FvwmGtk-manpage mean:
.IP "*FvwmGtk: RCFile \fBfile\fP"
Note that this command should be issued before defining any menus
or dialog. Hint for GNOME users: If you add instances of this command
for the
standard GNOME rc files, switching themes via the control-center will
apply to FvwmGtk widgets as well, giving a very integrated appearance
of the desktop.
Well, Gtk themes are defined in $HOME/.gtkrc.. I supose gnome control
center also updates this file (?) It's just a matter of telling
FvwmGtk where to look for the gtk configs..

If you're referring to the gnome libs: FvwmGtk is the orly place
where they are needed. If you mean the GNOMe WM hints: we should
keep them.
I was refering to the hints.. Gnome 1 is obsolete, so it's a matter of
deciding which degree of compatibility we want to keep. The same
happens with rplay, but that's a matter for another mail :)
Cheers,
