twm is what i'm running,do you know if fvwm2 run on 16 colors ?? i tried
fvwm95 too but it hasn't worked (i discovered the reason about 30 minutes
ago when surfing in a mass of document and config files).

it will help,but it's currious i dont have any .xinitrc file on my system
and even more currious that i run the apropos command for something on
xinitrc and it didn't found a manpage for it ( i did apropos .xinitrc
apropos xinitrc and find / -name "*xinitrc*" ,nothing at all)
