I just noticed that it's much easier.  FvwmBacker accepts new
config lines after startup, so you can say something like

  DestroyModuleConfig FvwmBacker*
  *FvwmBacker: Command (Desk 0) -solid black
  *FvwmBacker: Command (Desk 1) -solid blue

and FvwmBacker automatically uses the new config.  It's not
possible to delete config lines, though.

And of course you can use colour sets, but it's a waste of memory
as the image is buffered in memory.

Ciao
