Thank you. I am glad I took the time to ask instead of experimenting recklessly.

The aim is to dispense with needless bloat when using my favourite programs in an XWindows environment. While my installed fvwm2 already does that (more or less), it looks as though I need to learn a new language in order to understand the "sample configurations+man page" content and get the full benefit of what fvwm2 has to offer. Since I am a geriatric and time is no longer a precious commodity, I have created a new User who starts with the default sample file in ~/.fvwm2rc file and adds bits and pieces from the other samples to see what they do. Some experiments work and some do not. Before I weary with this list with my failures (assuming that this and not the fvwm-themes list is the correct one), I will see what I can discover on my own. Again, many thanks for the prompt and helpful answers. Felix -- Felix Karpfen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Public Key 72FDF9DF (DH/DSA) -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
