Oh, it will work -- it will bring up a builtin menu in which you can select a Setup option which will load a FvwmForm instance for you to select which aspects of your configuration will be saved to ~/.fvwm2rc > In the past I remembered that, I thought, fvwm would use a default rc > file if it didn't find a ~/.fvwmrc file, but I don't see this anymore. FVWM does ship with example .fvwm2rcs within its tarball, but that's no guarantee that FC provides them in lieu of FVWM being able to generate its own config file. > To get some people working I copied > /usr/share/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc-sample-95 into their home directories > as .fvwm2rc. > > I did this cos it was the only file with "rc" in it in the > distribution.

Look at your ~/.fvwm2rc file, and see where it's looking for these files, and ensure you copy them to their relative paths in "$.", or put them in FVWM's global path instead. -- Thomas Adam
