 yes, it is mentioned in the man
 but it appears at line 365 in a very
 modest 2 line sentence (context: .fvwm2rc).
 it is repeated in a somewhat more extended
 version at ~1100 (Built in K&M Bindings).
 
 while I agree that structurally these are
 apropriate locations, i believe not many
 newbies can spot and pick up the message
 (i personally missed them when first read/
 scanned through the manual. mind you it is
 8000+ lines of heavy text).
 
 I think it would be helpful to
 - to put a "To the Impatient" setion at the very
 begining of the man with this info
 - mention this also in one of the INSTALL and/or
 README files (e.g. README.sysrc).
