My fvwm version: FVWM version 2.4.6 compiled on Apr 8 2002 at 20:52:23 with support for: ReadLine, Stroke, XPM, GNOME WM hints, Shape, SM, Multibyte, Xinerama This seems to be the latest stable Debian linux release. My system.fvwm2rc file is below. It has been setup to produce a kiosk/task-station which can run a limited set of programs. Thanks!
