  I haven't had a time to devote to checking out fvwm config in debian
but I'd say that the menus is about the only thing you really want to
keep, so you can probably just create completely new config for fvwm
(there are a lot of examples + fairly good man page) and use the default
debian menu from /etc/X11/fvwm. That's what I'll do one of these days, I
guess.

  but there are various hooks in debian default config so you might want
to investigate a bit first...

  btw new fvwm is coming soon (subject to change, but it's in feature
freeze for some time) with completely new support for themes etc... we
might even get fvwm.themes.org again! well, actually fvwm.themes.org is
already working but is not advertised at www.themes.org and is not for
current version of fvwm.
