FVWM: Help required.

Hi. Dorky as this sounds, I would like to use FVWM2 as a W95 replacement -
with some buttons mapped to different applications like Netscape - Gimp etc.
    Could someone (with a well commented dotfile ; )
please send me a link to their dot file - with instructions as to where to
store it, and the different pixmaps they have installed on their system. I
have downloaded some files that I thought would be useful
- the dotfile generator (dotfile-2_4_1-1_noarch.rpm)
- the dotfile fvwm2 module (dotfile-fvwm2-1_1-1_noarch.rpm)
Also from the FVWM2 homepage (I think :)
I downloaded
- 3d pixmaps (3d_pixmaps_V1_21_tar.gz)
- Normal icons (icons_tar.gz)

If someone is using these icons successfully to have "shortcut icon menus"
(Cant think of a better way to describe it) like in wharf, could they send
me (off list if neccessary) a copy of the dotfile and where to put it.


Sorry if that sounds absurd, but I am trying to get my head around the
different options to make fvwm2 usable for myself and my wife.

2nd Q.

IF someone can also send me the syntax of a "shutdown machine" button on
their X-win desktop that would be cool.

For example - someone told me I could use 'sudo halt' and map it to a
button.

Cheers.

J
