Are you sure you start the correct fvwm2 executable? There is no way a redhat config is used if you run a non-redhat fvwm2. You may run "fvwm2 -version" and "strace fvwm2 2>&1 | grep open" to get more information about a version and config files read. > The same applies to when I click restart from a menu. > If I say fvwm2 -f $HOME/.fvwm2rc though, the file is found and used, but > not upon restarting. If you have "Restart fvwm2" command in your menus, this is expected. Just like the man page in 2.4.x versions says, replace all "Restart fvwm2" in your fvwm2rc with simply "Restart", so you restart the same WM. > According to the manual $HOME/.fvwm2rc should be searched first. Well, $HOME/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc is searched first. Other than that I can't explain why some system.fvwm2rc is used in your case (which one, BTW?), you didn't supply enough information.
