I saved it to ~/.vim/, this was enough.

It is still too old (I don't know how old was the previous one, I don't
use vim), many new commands and options are not recognized.

It would be nice if obsolete commands like IconPath, PixmapPath, *Font,
*Color, WindowDesk, and obsolete Style options would be highlighted
using light red or some other annoying color.

I will not list all problems, if you want to improve it, run it on dozens
of files in fvwm-themes-0.6.1, it uses only the correct 2.4.8 syntax.
