True enough, but it's there to provide a default in case the user doesn't have a
"~/.fvwm2rc". If there is a ~/.fvwm2rc the system.fvwm2rc won't be read. This makes
the ~/.fvwm2rc file an excellent place to "play around" with your windows manager. You
can screw it up in any manner you want (I have ;-)) without affecting other users or
the default system.fvwm2rc.
