1) download this file (yes, it's for a different Linux distribution,
   but it will work) and save it as ``/tmp/fvwm-crystal.apps.patch``::

     
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gentoo-x86/x11-themes/fvwm-crystal/files/fvwm-crystal.apps.patch?rev=1.1

2) get a command prompt ("terminal")

3) find where the ``fvwm-crystal.apps`` program is in your
   system. It's probably at ``/usr/bin/fvwm-crystal.apps``; if
   executing::

      ls -l /usr/bin/fvwm-crystal.apps

   gives no errors and lists a file, you're set; otherwise write::

     locate fvwm-crystal.apps

   it should print very few lines; there should only be one line
   containing ``/bin/`` and ending with ``fvwm-crystal.apps``; that
   line tells you where the file is.

4) now that you know where the file is, write::

     cd $where_the_file_is
     sudo patch -p1 < /tmp/fvwm-crystal.apps.patch

   replacing ``$where_the_file_is`` with the directory where the
   ``fvwm-crystal.apps`` file is (``/usr/bin/`` in the simple case
   above); you'll be asked for your password, and then the file will
   be modified to no longer throw the error.

It's more than magnificent -- it's mediocre.
