Re: fvwm2 and startxwin

If you aren't interested in starting other programs from your .xinintrc,
you can just do 'startx fvwm2 -- -rootless' for the all in one solution :-)

Oops. I mean 'startx /usr/bin/fvwm2 -- -rootless'

(as man xinit says, the client supplied to startx or xinit must begin with / or ., otherwise it's treated as client arguments to the default xterm)
