Victor, I figured this out. The fvwm project is in the process of converting the main name of their executable from fvwm2 to fvwm, and there are some other name changes, including a change from xpmroot to fvwm-root. I have not followed this change in the fink packages, because when I first set the fink packages up, I followed the example from the Debian project and constructed a setup which allows the original fvwm (fvwm1) and fvwm2 to be installed simultaneously. This recent conversion process at the fvwm project would break my setup, so I have been disabling it by using a flag they provide (NEW_NAME_SYMLINKS=false). This is why you are not finding fvwm-root: it is actually called xpmroot, it's old name. -- Dave -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
