This is so bizzare, I've been following this thread with some confusion, since I've replaced the /etc/X11/fvwmrc with my own setup, and it works fine: bash# ls -l /etc/X11/fvwm/ total 60 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25723 Feb 25 05:22 debian.fvwmrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24343 Aug 19 20:46 jimr.fvwmrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7263 Oct 4 1995 orig.fvwmrc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Aug 19 20:47 system.fvwmrc -> jimr.fvwrc Have you double checked all permissions leading down to the file, and have you seen _any_ error message from fvwm startup?
