Without any customization by anybody it is quite useless. With reasonable customization by an initial ~/.fvwm2rc and some additions by myself, it does for me: - Add handles to the windows so i can move, resize, iconify them, and make them "sticky" to the glass of the screen. - Define meaning of mouse buttons. - Set background and create a first xterm after startup of the X Window System. - Provide FvwmPager by which i switch between the 8 pages of my virtual desktop. - Install FvwmButtons panel with FvwmPager, xclock, "Fvwm2" button with a master menu (very rarely used by me), and a button that creates xterms with bash sessions (often used). - Define and perform my private definition of the MS-Windows keys of my keybard: Key Super_L A N RaiseLower Key Super_R A N RaiseLower - Refrain from annoying me with xterm icons with fully active shell dialog: Style "XTerm" IconOverride Style "XTerm" Icon display.xpm The rest of graphical programs is started by shell comands in xterms: Web browser, PDF reader, own programs ... Have a nice day :) Thomas
