This sounds right. You might try (if you haven't configured fvwm yourself)
running an `apt-get --purge remove fvwm` followed by `apt-get install
fvwm`, to reinstall the default debian configuration of fvwm, which gives
rather nice menus. BTW I doubt that this is the right way to do this, I
just don't know a better way.
