  The config file syntax was heavily modified in FVWM version 2.x, no
question.  For the better, I think, but it's certainly a pain to
migrate a config one has carefully built over time.  But "nothing at
all like" FVWM 1.x?  I have to beg to differ on that.

  It has been a long time for me, but it didn't seem that radically
different.  And again, things can be customized to the point of
absurdity in FVWM.  What couldn't you get to work the way you wanted?

  Or do you just mean the default config file you were using wasn't to
your liking?

  ...?  I'm pretty sure FVWM 1.x still compiles on recent distros.
