Yeah, I started using fvwm about 10 years ago as well ;-)

I used fvwm for many years as well. A few years ago, I wanted to start using
GNOME, but I couldn't stand any GNOME-compatible window manager for longer than
a few minutes (except for icewm, which could keep me unfrustrated for about an
hour or so ;-) Then sawmill^H^H^H^Hfish arrived, I switched over, and I'm still
a happy user.
So even if you don't want to use GNOME, if you're used to fvwm, and want to
start using a different window manager, you may like sawfish.
