I fear that the problem is more difficult.
As mentioned in my original posting, there are no problems in using
fvwm2 with Debian Sarge.
There are problems in using "fvwm2+fvwm-themes" (because fvwm-themes
uses its own "fvwm2rc" file). I can point to that file quite easily
from the console. But, to get there I have to disable gdm, kdm, xdm
and any other XWindows login manager that Sarge appears to select by
default.
It looks as though Sarge has decided that the console is unsuitable
for the Great Unwashed. Woody at least gave the option to log into
the console when it ran "gdm" at boot.
