Please point out the conflicts so that they can be repaired.

There are 2 borderwidths, for windows and menus.
For menus, this works:
MenuStyle * BorderWidth 10
I suspect you are having problems with the borders on windows.
Perhaps you missed this in the man page:
With the NoHandles style, the window does not get
the handles in the window corners that are commonly
used to resize it. With NoHandles, the width from
the BorderWidth style is used. By default, or if
Handles is is specified, the width from the Han
dleWidth style is used.
So, if you have
Style * NoHandles
Then this works:
Style * BorderWidth 10
Otherwise, use this:
Style * HandleWidth 10

Fvwm may be speedy and small, but the amount of configuration possible
is massive. Hence the extremly large man page, and difficulty getting
started.
