Thanks, now it is working right! It is doing some font-locking to
edit .fvwmrc. Since you ask and were kind enough to help out, here
it is:

;;; Commentary:
;; This package is a major mode for editing window configuration files and
;; also defines font-lock keywords for such files.
;; winmgr-mode mode will automatically get turned on if you visit a
;; a file whose name looks like that of a configuration file
;; (IE, .fvwmrc, .mwmrc, .tvtwmrc, etc)
;; The current font-lock keywords are:
;; any word of upper or lower case letters at the start of a line
;; followed by whitespace gets colored using
;; font-lock-function-name-face.
;; any word of upper or lower case letters at the start of a line
;; followed by a "(" (IE, an m4 macro) gets colored using
;; font-lock-comment-face
;; Put this in your .emacs :
;;
;;(setq auto-mode-alist
;; (append '(("\\.[A-Za-z]*wm$" . winmgr-mode)
;; ("\\.[A-Za-z]*wmrc" . winmgr-mode)
;; auto-mode-alist))
