Why don't you have a look at the various screenshots. For most of them
you can d/l the config. Start with that and keep on modifying 'till it
fits your needs.

That way you'll learn _very_ quick what most of the
options/commands do. Just keep the sample rc-files as reference so you
can compare if things don't come out as you expect.

read above. Either learn it the hard way or you'll regret it sooner or
later. FVWM is NOT complicate, it's just complex. You can't learn
everything within some days. But step by step you'll get more and more
familiar with it. And _this_ is fun...
