I tried the Metro X server also on my RH system. It sucks! Came
up with the darndest wierd color combinations, and it didn't seem
to pay any attention to fvwm at all--not the colors anyway! Some
of the gaudiest, gosh awful combinations you could imagine. Most
of them useless, due to the lack of contrast or the color choices of
fg & bg. And it was (is) slow. Real slow.
