Michael,
Maintainership of fvwm is yours if you want it.

In followup to my earlier message:
INSTALL.fvwm from the fvwm source tarfile (fvwm.org) suggests
copying system.fvwm2rc to /usr/local/etc/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc
to provide a system default. This file does not appear to be
present in the Cygwin package, but it seems that installing
this file to the correct place would be the most transparent
way to streamline fvwm setup.
The Cygwin version of fvwm2 appears to be configured slightly
differently from the default. The appropriate directories for
system.fvwm2rc are
${datadir}/fvwm --> /usr/X11R6/share/fvwm
and
${sysconfdir} --> /etc (why not /usr/local/etc or even
/etc/X11?)
As a possible alternative to supplying this default configuration file,
what about installing fwwm-icons along with a configuration
pre-generated by FvwmScript-Setup95?
Cheers
Michael
