I know I get mostly ignored on these lists, but I've proven that Dan's
nicely modified FvwmForm can save configs and I had a set of forms to
configure EVERY option for fvwm half-built before the fvwm-themes
project even got started. However I recieved zero interest in it from
anybody so I dropped the project since I lacked the skills to do it
properly, and didn't get any feedback at all except some polite comments
from Dan.

Sure FvwmScript is probably a better tool for this, but FvwmForm is a
lot easier. Maybe if anyone was interested, I could dig up my old forms
or start afresh. I've been meaning to try and devise a set of forms for
fvwm-themes configs actually. Or even use FvwmGtk for this, but that
module lacks the read option of FvwmForm.
