For those with vision problems for tiny fonts, like me, Ctrl Right-Click brings up font sizes. After changing to a bigger font, I open a new xterm and all is fine. First step I do on a new install. Best to open a new xterm rather than the first one, which overflows with the bigger font. Ctrl plus Right-Click or middle-click or left-click of the mouse offers a lot of handy features before making permanent configuration changes. Hopefully useful for those that didn't know about this. I happen to like fvwm quite a bit after configuration to my needs. I install the fvwm2 version from ports, but base version works great. fvwm3 is also available now, so it is an actively developed software. Not sure when/if that will get ported in. -- Chris Bennett
