jackthechemist,

Your problem is fvwm2rc in your /home/usr/.fvwm2rc it should read .fvwmrc.

Your options are to rename it or better to delete it and do following.

cd /usr/X11/R6/lib/X11/fvwm
(you will see system.fvwm2rc file, copy it to your home directory.) Make sure you logged in as user not root.

cp system.fvwm2rc ~/.fvwmrc
(This will copy the file to home directory
and rename it to .fvwmrc)

cd ~/ (Change to home directory)

ls -lA (Check to see if the file .fvwmrc is there)

chmod 660 .fvwmrc (This will give the file permission to modify)

Make sure there is . (period) in front of .fvwmrc

Log out and log in to X and you should be able to have good running X and be able to tweak your .fvwmrc.

Suggestion, before you make any changes to .fvwmrc make copy of it
something like .fvwmrc_copy. This way when you screw too much your original you can rename your .fvwmrc_copy to .fvwmrc and you back to
original.
