The next release will be out as soon as I can get it out there. I
wanted to release it today, but didn't get a chance to do as much with
fvwm this weekend as I wanted. It'll be ready soon though (whatever
'soon' means).

Take a look at the web sites in the FAQ. One (or several) of them
include configuration examples, and there is an ftp site with lots of
config examples cited on one of them.

Also, I plan to beef up the sample one before the first official
release.
